1 Behavior Assessment System for Children Lauren Exinia Master of Social Work, Walden University SOCW 6111: Advanced SW Practice I Dr. Folusho Otuyelu September 11, 2023

2 Why did you select the assessment tool? The Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) facilitates a full analysis of a child's behavior from three distinct perspectives: the child's self-perception, the parent's observation, and the teacher's evaluation. In addition, the assessment encompasses the utilization of observation techniques and a comprehensive structured developmental history, thereby facilitating the acquisition of additional insights about the child (Swart, 2005). Why might it be especially helpful for use with children? This instrument is employed to evaluate children over a broad range of age groups and diverse behavioral patterns. This tool enables ongoing monitoring and evaluation of a child's conduct and emotional state to identify any potential alterations (BASC, 2018). Moreover, the validity and reliability of this technique has been established, leading to its widespread use in several studies (Swart, 2005). What challenges or limitations might there be for this assessment tool? The BASC presents certain challenges, namely financial costs and the need for dependence on external parties (such as parents or teachers) to accurately fulfill their respective roles in the assessment process. Additionally, the practitioner administering the BASC is required to possess a higher level of understanding of measurement and scaling concepts to make accurate interpretations of the gathered data (Flanagan, 2000).
