Which instrument is the most appropriate for further screening Avery's diagnosed symptoms?
a. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS)
The CPTRS measures the presence and severity of behaviors related to ADHD exploring inattention, hyperactivity, learning problems and social skills, filled out by parents and teachers. It also helps point out where further testing may be needed or monitor how well medication is working for children already diagnosed with ADHD, as is the case with Avery. The VABS measures how a child's daily living skills compare to those of other kids his age, helpful for screening diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and developmental delays. This instrument would be more helpful for use with Avery's brother in this case, but no evidence suggests Avery is having developmental issues. The SCARED is a child and parent self-report instrument used to screen childhood anxiety disorders ages 8-18 years old and could be used to identify anxiety issues, however the question asks about Avery's already diagnosed conditions. The CBAI helps identify young children at risk of behavioral problems in community settings, which is not the most appropriate choice for this case study.
