ABOUT
The Temperament and Atypical Behavior Scale (TABS) is a screening and assessment tool that aids professionals in detecting critical temperament and self-regulation issues that can indicate a child’s risk for future behavioral challenges or developmental delay.
Description
Traditional developmental tests miss critical temperament and self-regulation problems that can indicate a child's risk for developmental delay. TABS is specifically designed to identify these behavioral indicators as early as possible. For use with children ages 11 to 71 months, TABS can be used for screening, research, determining eligibility for special services, planning programs, and monitoring child progress and program effectiveness. TABS has been normed on nearly 1,000 children from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds developing typically and atypically.
