| Abstract: |
The goal of this paper was to critically review and evaluate five common social-emotional and behavioral screeners: Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (Kamphaus and Reynolds 2007), Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System (McDougal et al. 2011), Social Skills Improvement System Performance Screening Guide (Elliott and Gresham 2008), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman "Journal of Child Psychology, Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines," 38, 581-586, 1997), and Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (Walker and Severson 1992). School professionals are often involved in choosing universal screening assessments; therefore, this review was intended to inform the audience about important features such as use, standardization sample and norms, scores and interpretation, and psychometric properties of commonly used social-emotional universal screeners. |
