ABOUT
Catching "red flag" behaviors early is an essential part of helping children and adolescents before social-emotional difficulties become major roadblocks to success in school and in life. These two easy, reliable screening tools give K–12 education professionals a comprehensive look at a child's social-emotional strengths and risk behaviors, both in school (the School Social Behavior Scales, Second Edition) and at home and in the community (the Home & Community Social Behavior Scales).
Description
Like its school-based counterpart the SSBS-2, the HCSBS provides integrated comprehensive ratings of both social skills and antisocial problem behaviors. The HCSBS includes two co-normed scales. The Social Competence scale includes 32 items that measure adaptive, prosocial skills on two subscales: Peer Relations and Self-Management/Compliance. The Antisocial Behavior scale includes 32 items that measure socially linked problem behaviors on two subscales: Defiant/Disruptive and Antisocial-Aggressive. The HCSBS is completed by parents usually after the SSBS-2 has indicated that there are areas of concern.
This product is sold in a package of 25.
The HCSBS Rating Form (English) is part of SSBS-2 and HCSBS, two easy, reliable tools used in tandem to determine a childs social-emotional strengths and risk behaviors in school (SSBS-2) and at home and in the community (HCSBS). Norm-referenced and standardized, these K–12 screeners help educators identify children with problem behaviors, target classroom interventions, measure the effectiveness of interventions over time, remove barriers to learning, and bring families into the process to provide the best support for children.

"Both scales are quick and easy to complete for teachers and for parents, while giving an accurate assessment of student functioning. They are also quick and easy to score. I don't know what I would do without these scales!"
