Benchmark: Psychological Report Assignment Instructions
Overview
You will write a Psychological Report Assignment based upon four (4) psychological evaluations and information reported in the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment. Counselors are commonly required to write a psychological report that presents assessed and observation information about a client. This Psychological Report Assignment will require students to synthesize and report information about the character depicted in the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment.
Instructions
· Length of Psychological Report Assignment: 2100-2400 words (not including the title page)
· Format of Psychological Report Assignment: APA for font (Times New Roman, 12 pt.), title page, margins, and section headings
· Number of citations: none
· Acceptable sources: none
Using your character from the Initial Interview Assignment and Mental Status Examination (MSE) Assignment, you will take the assessments with the goal of answering one (1) of the referral questions posted below:
1. Would this examinee be a good candidate for participation in a summer missions trip in a very challenging environment?
2. Would this examinee be a good candidate for Senior Pastor at a large urban church?
3. Would the examinee make a good Resident Assistant (RA) at Liberty University?
Assessment Selection
You will report on four (4) assessments. For one of your assessments, you must use the IPIP-NEO assessment (see Psychological Report Resources for the link). There are two versions (short/long) of the IPIP-NEO assessment. Please use the longer version. Copy and paste the NEO description and chart into the report. This will give you a nice template for writing an assessment description. Once you have the results of the IPIP-NEO, you will plug in your own numbers into the chart.
The three (3) additional tests may come from the assessment listed on Blackboard: Jung Personality Test, Beck Depression Inventory, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. However, you may select other assessments to replace these assessment. Please make sure that any assessments that you select are designed to provide some of the information needed to answer the referral question. For example, if going on a mission trip is stressful, then you will want to pick an assessment that measures stress; you would not pick one that can be used to diagnose schizophrenia. When you have completed scoring the assessments, begin writing the psychological report.
You may not use the Symptom Questionnaire (SQ); Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS) or the Clinical Anxiety Scale (CAS). These assessments are used in the sample paper, so you may not use them in your report. This would be plagiarism.
Please refer to the Psychological Report –Diagnostic Report Sample to ensure that you correctly format your Psychological Report Assignment paper. For this, you will not use A ...

1. Grading and Reporting System
2. Statistics
Overview
In this chapter, the assigning of grades to students and how it should be done in relation to
the intended learning outcomes have been achieved and that grading policies of schools must also
be taken into consideration in developing a grading system.
Section Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this section, you should be able to:
Demonstrate skills in preparing and interpreting grades
Assess the effectiveness of parent-teacher conference as a venue for reporting learner's
performance
Chapter Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this chapter, you are expected to demonstrate skills in interpreting test results
and reporting of grades.
GRADING SYSTEM
- a system that is used to assess the educational performance of a child which is entirely
based upon points alone
REPORTING SYSTEM
- a process of communicating comprehensive information about students progress and
learning at a point in time
The guiding premises in developing grading and reporting system are provided below:
1. The primary goal of grading and reporting is communication.
2. Grading and reporting are integral parts of the instructional process.
3. Good reporting is based on good evidence.
4. Changes in grading and reporting are best accomplished through the development of a
comprehensive reporting system
In developing and implementing the grading and reporting systems, these premises must be
taken into consideration to have a meaningful output and help in the attainment of the student
learning objectives, to which the assessment objectives cascaded.
K to 12 GRADING OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
The K to 12 assessment is leaner-centered and carefully considers its learning
environment system.
The 21st century skills such as research, analytical/critical, practical and creative are part
of the indicators included in the K to12 assessment.
Both cognitive and non-cognitive skills which includes values, motivation, attitude,
behavior traits, and interpersonal relations are part of the assessment.
Formative assessment (assessment FOR learning) is given importance to ensure learning.
Learners are encourage to take part in the process of self-assessment (assessment AS
learning)
Summative forms of assessment (assessment OF learning) are also part of the curriculum
assessment under the K to 12.
The K to 12 curriculum prescribes that the assessment process should utilize the wide
variety of traditional and authentic assessment tools and techniques for a valid,
reliable, and realistic assessment of learning.
In K to 12 curriculum, assessment will be standards-based to ensure that there is
standardization in teaching and learning. Department of Education (DepEd) issued an order
(DepEd Order No. 31. s. 2012) stating that Assessment will be done in four levels and will be
weighted accordingly.
Statistical Processes
Can descriptive statistical processes be used in determining relationships, differences, or effects in your research question and testable null hypothesis? Why or why not? Also, address the value of descriptive statistics for the forensic psychology research problem that you have identified for your course project. read an article for additional information on descriptive statistics and pictorial data presentations.

Computing Descriptive Statistics
Computing Descriptive Statistics: “Ever Wonder What Secrets They Hold?” The Mean, Mode, Median, Variability, and Standard Deviation
Introduction
Before gaining an appreciation for the value of descriptive statistics in behavioral science environments, one must first become familiar with the type of measurement data these statistical processes use. Knowing the types of measurement data will aid the decision maker in making sure that the chosen statistical method will, indeed, produce the results needed and expected. Using the wrong type of measurement data with a selected statistic tool will result in erroneous results, errors, and ineffective decision making.
Measurement, or numerical, data is divided into four types: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The businessperson, because of administering questionnaires, taking polls, conducting surveys, administering tests, and counting events, products, and a host of other numerical data instrumentations, garners all the numerical values associated with these four types.
Nominal Data
Nominal data is the simplest of all four forms of numerical data. The mathematical values are assigned to that which is being assessed simply by arbitrarily assigning numerical values to a characteristic, event, occasion, or phenomenon. For example, a human resources (HR) manager wishes to determine the differences in leadership styles between managers who are at different geographical regions. To compute the differences, the HR manager might assign the following values: 1 = West, 2 = Midwest, 3 = North, and so on. The numerical values are not descriptive of anything other than the location and are not indicative of quantity.
Ordinal Data
In terms of ordinal data, the variables contained within the measurement instrument are ranked in order of importance. For example, a product-marketing specialist might be interested in how a consumer group would respond to a new product. To garner the information, the questionnaire administered to a group of consumers would include questions scaled as follows: 1 = Not Likely, 2 = Somewhat Likely, 3 = Likely, 4 = More Than Likely, and 5 = Most Likely. This creates a scale rank order from Not Likely to Most Likely with respect to acceptance of the new consumer product.
Interval Data
Oftentimes, in addition to being ordered, the differences (or intervals) between two adjacent measurement values on a measurement scale are identical. For example, the di ...

Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft Instructions
Include the following in your Group Discussion Board Forum:
1. A report with the final Marketing Plan that includes the three previous drafts, attached as an MS Word file. In addition, this final MP must include the following sections:
· Marketing Programs & Financial Projections.
You should review pp. 54–55 of the text for examples of the key issues that should be discussed within these sections of the MP. You will need a comprehensive marketing program, which includes a discussion of: the Product Strategy, the Pricing Strategy, the Promotion Strategy and the Distribution (channels) Strategy.
The last section on Financial Projections should show a 5-year projection of expected revenues. In addition, you should present some type of idea when BE (break-even) will take place. Companies that introduce new products generally do not make a profit in “year 1” because of the high development and marketing costs required to test and launch the product. Obtaining costs will be difficult, but you should try to estimate costs.
· Executive Summary (ES)
Finally, once the MP is written, you will need to write the Executive Summary. The ES is written last but is placed right after the Table of Contents. You will want the reader to see the ES first. if they like it, they may read on. If it does not excite the reader, the MP will likely be discounted. The ES should contain only the most important findings, conclusions, and recommendations contained within your plan.
· The Table of Contents
The Table of Contents contains a list of the major sections of your marketing plan with the names of the group members that participated in the actual writing of each section. This will allow the instructor to evaluate each member’s contribution to the overall group project.
· Appendices
The only Appendix required is a reference list. Keep in mind that data and key information may need citations, but will surely require a reference list. A plan with no references will be considered marginal since information sources add considerable credibility to the ideas in your plan.
Your Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

BUS308 Week 4 Lecture 1
Examining Relationships
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. Issues around correlation
2. The basics of Correlation analysis
3. The basics of Linear Regression
4. The basics of the Multiple Regression
Overview
Often in our detective shows when the clues are not providing a clear answer – such as
we are seeing with the apparent continuing contradiction between the compa-ratio and salary
related results – we hear the line “maybe we need to look at this from a different viewpoint.”
That is what we will be doing this week.
Our investigation changes focus a bit this week. We started the class by finding ways to
describe and summarize data sets – finding measures of the center and dispersion of the data with
means, medians, standard deviations, ranges, etc. As interesting as these clues were, they did not
tell us all we needed to know to solve our question about equal work for equal pay. In fact, the
evidence was somewhat contradictory depending upon what measure we focused on. In Weeks 2
and 3, we changed our focus to asking questions about differences and how important different
sample outcomes were. We found that all differences were not important, and that for many
relatively small result differences we could safely ignore them for decision making purposes –
they were due to simple sampling (or chance) errors. We found that this idea of sampling error
could extend into work and individual performance outcomes observed over time; and that over-
reacting to such differences did not make much sense.
Now, in our continuing efforts to detect and uncover what the data is hiding from us, we
change focus again as we start to find out why something happened, what caused the data to act
as it did; rather than merely what happened (describing the data as we have been doing). This
week we move from examining differences to looking at relationships; that is, if some measure
changes does another measure change as well? And, if so, can we use this information to make
predictions and/or understand what underlies this common movement?
Our tools in doing this involve correlation, the measurement of how closely two
variables move together; and regression, an equation showing the impact of inputs on a final
output. A regression is similar to a recipe for a cake or other food dish; take a bit of this and
some of that, put them together, and we get our result.
Correlation
We have seen correlations a lot, and probably have even used them (formally or
informally). We know, for example, that all other things being equal; the more we eat. the more
we weigh. Kids, up to the early teens, grow taller the older they get. If we consistently speed,
we will get more speeding tickets than those who obey the speed limit. The more efforts we put
into studying, the better grades we get. All of these are examples of correlations.
Correlatio.

SUBJECT: Out of Class Experience – Cybersecurity Conference
Cybersecurity is a topic everyone should be concerned about, so I attended the 3rd Annual Cybersecurity Event held in the Grawn Atrium. I gained insight and knowledge from listening to the speakers that came from different kinds of industries. In this memo, I will discuss what I learned from the speaker and two takeaways: 1) cybersecurity is everywhere, 2) personal identifiable information, and 3) cybersecurity for the business student.
Cybersecurity is Everywhere
The conference was an opportunity to learn about cybersecurity. The first speaker talked about how companies are attacked in many different ways every day. The “bad guys” are trying to steal company information as well as employee information. Both kinds of information are valuable on the black market. The second speaker talked about the internet of things (IoT). These are things that are attached to the internet. The speaker talked about autonomous cars and medical equipment (heart) that talks to the internet. She talked about how cyber can and should influence designs. “Things” must be created with cybersecurity included in every step of the design. The last speaker talked about how my information has value. The “bad guys” steal my information and people want to buy it. Making money is one reason hackers steal millions of records.
Personal Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is any information relating to an identifiable person. There are laws in place to help make sure this information is secure. This topic is a takeaway for me because I had no idea my data had any value t.

BUS 206 Milestone Two Template
To simplify completing this milestone, use this template to help you write your essay. You may use each
heading as a starter sentence and then discuss the legal issues presented in the case study using the
following guide, if you choose. Be sure to explain and elaborate on how each term applies to the story.
Be sure to incorporate the facts of the case into your explanation and analysis.
Remember that the document you submit should follow the formatting guidelines described in the
Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric document.
A. Various elements must be present to prove that a valid contract exists between Sam and the
chain store.
The four elements to a contract are . (Chapter 13)
The first element of would be deemed to exist if [describe facts that
are or should be present].
The second element of would be deemed to exist if [describe facts
that are or should be present].
The third element of would be deemed to exist if [describe facts that
are or should be present].
The fourth element of would be deemed to exist if [describe facts
that are or should be present].
If the elements of a contract did exist between these parties, there could still be some
possible reasons why a contract might not be valid based on facts not present in the
scenario. For example, if Sam was a minor at the time he made the agreement with
the chain store, the contract would not be valid because . List
some other reasons and elaborate on why a contract might be invalid.
Discuss and explain any other information you deem relevant to this answer.
(Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 16)
B. Even if there is not a valid legal contract between Sam and the chain store, there may still be
a quasi-contract (Chapter 13) or elements of what is called a promissory estoppel. (Chapter
15)
A quasi-contract is defined as . In this case, a quasi-contract may exist
if the following facts are true: . (Chapter 13)
A promissory estoppel is defined as . This principle might apply to this
case if . (Chapters 13 and 16)
Discuss and explain any other information you deem relevant to this answer.
C. The rights and obligations of both the landlord and tenant depend upon the term of their
contract. Such a contract may be verbal or in writing under a standard residential lease
agreement. (Chapters 13 and 50)
Some facts that may support that Sam is in breach of that contract are
.
Some facts that may support that Sam is not in breach of that contract are
. (Chapters 16, 17, and 50)
Discuss and explain any other information you deem relevant to this answer.
D. Based upon those rights and obligations, Sam’s landlord has/does not have grounds to evict
because .
Elaborate and explain.
E. Some defenses Sam might raise if his landlord tries to evict him include
because .

Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most.docxrichardnorman90310
Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most of the daily things are running via technology these days and while using technology you must have some minimum criteria for all of those who are using it. Usually, the company must make some policies for internal use and external use, so that where someone crosses the line, they are able to catch hold of them and take a severe action as per the business policies. Now this is really important because due to an error from one person there are other people who would get affected, and there are multiple stages to those areas, that checks the severity of all of those mistakes.
Here some of them that is general while making policies, such as visiting pornographic web sites using company computer is not allowed, disrupting another’s data or computer system and sharing corporate database information. When employees make any of these mistakes, then companies have authorities to terminate employees from the business. Usually every employee is supposed work as per the basic rules or you can say acceptable usage policy. While using company materials and internet, because most of the office work is done over the internet, like using cloud or any other online applications. This allows you to have full access to outside world, but you must know what are the DO’s and Don’t’s. This will help you stick to the company for long time and also grow with the company as much as possible (Information Resources Management Association. International Conference).
These are made by looking at the history, because most of the employees have made some worst things in the history for personal benefits and ended sharing company details with outsiders, and hampered own company value. Using such valuable data, someone from outside can take over the company or misuse the data or they can do anything that can hurt the business directly. When the business owners are going under loss, the company can take actions against such activity or people who are committing those mistakes.

Song Siyŏl (1607‐1689) was a prominent scholar and official. This piece was written for his oldest daughter on the
occasion of her marriage and subsequently became an important tutelary text that circulated among elite families.
By the time this text was written, the patterns of patrilocal residence and patrilineal descent advocated by Neo‐
Confucian reformers early in the Chosŏn dynasty had become well established.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

This section of the report provides the following information for
each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis on the Conners
3–P:
1. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: T-scores
2. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: Detailed scores
3. DSM-IV-TR Total Symptom Counts
4. DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables
· Listing of Conners 3–P item(s) that correspond to each DSM-
IV-TR Symptom
· Criterion status of each DSM-IV-TR Symptom (i.e., whether
or not the symptom is
"indicated," "may be indicated," or "not indicated"). Symptoms
marked indicated or may be
indicated are summed to get the Total Symptom Count for that
diagnosis. Please refer to
specific DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables for each criterion status
and for any exception that
may alter the Total Symptom Count. See the Conners 3 Manual
for details on how each
criterion status is determined.
Interpretive Considerations
Results from the Conners 3–P are a useful component of DSM-
IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be
relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–P
DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor
should take the following important considerations into account.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for
further interpretative guidelines.
· The Conners 3–P contains symptom-level criteria, not full
diagnostic criteria, for DSM-IV-TR
8. diagnoses. Additional criteria (e.g., course, age of onset,
differential diagnosis, level of impairment,
pervasiveness) must be met before a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis can
be assigned.
· The Conners 3–P items are approximations of the DSM-IV-TR
Symptoms that are intended to
represent the main clinical construct in a format that most
parents can understand. As a result, some
aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria may not be fully represented.
Before using any diagnostic labels, the
assessor must consider all criteria that are required for a DSM-
IV-TR diagnosis, including the
symptoms from the Conners 3–P.
· The Conners 3–P provides information relevant to the DSM-
IV-TR diagnoses from two different
perspectives: absolute (Symptom Count) and relative (T-score).
Results from the DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Counts can contribute to the consideration of whether a
particular DSM-IV-TR diagnosis might be
appropriate. A T-score for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis
facilitates comparison of this individual’s
symptoms with his/her peers. At times, there may be
discrepancies between the Symptom Count and T-
score for a given diagnosis. This is to be expected, since they
are based on different metrics (i.e.,
absolute versus relative). The following points provide some
concrete guidelines for the interpretation
of this pair of scores (DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count and T-
score).
· Both scores are elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably met, DSM-IV-TR T-
score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong

Conners 3–P Results and IDEA
The Conners 3–P provides information that may be useful to
consider when determining whether a student
is eligible for special education and related services under
current U.S. federal statutes, such as the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
2004 (IDEA 2004).
Elevated scores on the Conners 3–P may indicate the need for
special education and related services. The
following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility that
are typically listed for children and
adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the
Conners 3–P. Checkmarks indicate which
areas of the Conners 3–P were indicated or endorsed, suggesting
possible consideration of IDEA 2004
eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is
based on the IDEA 2004 and general
interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and
local education agencies may have specific
requirements that supersede these recommendations. The
assessor is encouraged to consult local policies
that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated
scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient
justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind
that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that
categorization is not required for provision of services. Please
see the Conners 3 Manual for further
discussion of the IDEA 2004 and its relation to the Conners 3–P

29. What is the Conners 3?
The Conners 3 is a set of rating scales that are used to gather
information about the behaviors and feelings
of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be
completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The
Conners 3 forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in
child and adolescent behavior, and are used
all over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research
has shown that the Conners 3 scales are
reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores
that are produced by the parent’s ratings.
Why do parents complete the Conners 3?
Information from parents (or guardians) about their child’s
behavior and feelings is extremely important, as
parents generally know their child better than anyone else.
Parents can describe their child’s behaviors in a
number of different situations, including the home and
community.
The most common reason for using the Conners 3 is to better
understand a youth who is having difficulty,
and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 can also be used to
make sure that treatment services are
helping, or to see if the youth is improving. Sometimes the
Conners 3 is used for a routine check, even if
there is no reason to suspect the youth is struggling with a
problem. If you are not sure why you were asked
to complete the Conners 3, please ask the assessor listed at the
top of this feedback form.
How does the Conners 3 work?
The parent read 110 items and decided how well each statement
described Rosa J, or how often Rosa J
displayed each behavior in the past month (“Not at all/never,”
30. “Just a little true/occasionally,” “Pretty much
true/often,” or “Very much true/very frequently”). The parent’s
responses to these 110 statements were
combined into several groups of items. Each group of items
describes a certain type of behavior (for
example, inattention, aggression). The parent’s responses were
compared with what is expected for 7-year-
old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar
Rosa J is to her peers. This information helps
the assessor know if Rosa J is having more difficulty in a
certain area than 7-year-old girls.
Results from the Conners 3–Parent Form
The assessor who asked the parent to complete the Conners 3
will help explain these results and answer
any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were
calculated from how the parent described
Rosa J in the past month. The parent ratings help the assessor
know how Rosa J acts at home and in the
community. The results from parent ratings on the Conners 3
should be combined with other important
information, such as interviews with Rosa J and her parent,
other test results, and observations of Rosa J.
All of the combined information is used to determine if Rosa J
needs help in a certain area and what kind of
help is needed.
As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any
additional insights that you might have, make
notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the
scores do not make sense to you, you should
let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible
explanations.

01/15/2007
Introduction
The following section provides Maggie R’s scores for the
Positive and Negative Impression scales and the
Inconsistency Index.
Assessment of Validity
Raw score = 0 (Probably valid)
The Positive Impression score does not suggest an overly
positive response style.
Positive Impression
Raw score = 4 (Probably invalid)
The Negative Impression score indicates a response style which
can affect validity of the results. Often, a
high Negative Impression score indicates an overly negative
description of the youth’s behavior, but there
are other reasons why the Negative Impression score may be
elevated. You may wish to review individual
items used in calculating the Negative Impression score to
consider possible reasons why this score is
elevated. In the context of an elevated Negative Impression
score, results from the Conners 3–SR may be
an overestimation of Maggie R’s difficulties.
Negative Impression
Raw score = 7, Number of absolute differences ≥ 2 = 2

co-morbid problems in children and adolescents
aged 8 to 18 years old. When used in combination with other
information, results from the Conners 3–SR
can provide valuable information to guide assessment decisions.
This report provides information about the
youth’s score, how she compares to other youth, and which
scales are elevated. See the Conners 3 Manual
(published by MHS) for more information.
This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not
be given to clients or used as the sole criterion
for clinical diagnosis or intervention. Administrators are
cautioned against drawing unsupported
interpretations. Combining information from this report with
information gathered from other psychometric
measures, interviews, observations, and review of available
records will give the assessor or service
provider a more comprehensive view of the youth than might be
obtained from any one source. This report is
based on an algorithm that produces the most common
interpretations for the scores that have been
obtained. Administrators should review the client’s responses to
specific items to ensure that these typical
interpretations apply to the youth being described.

Interpretive Considerations
Results from the Conners 3–SR are a useful component of DSM-
IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be
relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–SR
DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor
should take the following important considerations into account.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for
further interpretative guidelines.
· The Conners 3–SR contains symptom-level criteria, not full

score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong
consideration.
· Both scores are average or below (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably not met,
DSM-IV-TR T-score < 60): It is unlikely that the diagnosis is
currently present (although
criteria may have been met in the past).
· Only Symptom Count is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably met, DSM-
IV-TR T-score < 60): Although the absolute DSM-IV-TR
symptomatic criteria may have
been met, the current presentation is not atypical for this age
and gender. Consider
whether the symptoms are present in excess of developmental
expectations (an
important requirement of DSM-IV-TR diagnosis).
· Only T-score is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably not met, DSM-IV-TR
T-score ³ 60): Although the current presentation is atypical for
the youth's age and
gender, there are not sufficient symptoms reported to meet

Conners 3–SR Results and IDEA
The Conners 3–SR provides information that may be useful to
consider when determining whether a student
is eligible for special education and related services under
current U.S. federal statutes, such as the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
2004 (IDEA 2004).
Elevated scores on the Conners 3–SR may indicate the need for
special education and related services.
The following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility
that are typically listed for children and
adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the
Conners 3–SR. Checkmarks indicate
which areas of the Conners 3–SR were indicated or endorsed,
suggesting possible consideration of IDEA
2004 eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is
based on the IDEA 2004 and general
interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and
local education agencies may have specific
requirements that supersede these recommendations. The
assessor is encouraged to consult local policies
that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated
scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient
justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind
that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that
categorization is not required for provision of services. Please
65. see the Conners 3 Manual for further
discussion of the IDEA 2004 and its relation to the Conners 3–
SR content.

68. information about the behaviors and feelings
of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be
completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The
Conners forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in
child and adolescent behavior, and are used all
over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research
has shown that the Conners scales are
reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores
that are produced by the youth’s ratings.
Why do youth complete the Conners 3?
Information from youth about his or her own behavior and
feelings is extremely important, as the youth
knows how he or she feels better than anyone else. Self-reports
provide invaluable information about the
youth’s own perceptions, feelings, and attitudes about his or her
behavior that parents and teachers may not
be aware of. Unlike parent and teacher ratings which provide
information about either home or school
settings, youth are able to give information about their feelings
and behaviors across settings and situations.
They know how they feel and behave all of the time.
The most common reason for using the Conners 3 scales is to
better understand a youth who is having
difficulty, and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 scales
can also be used to make sure that treatment
services are helping, or to see if the youth is improving.
Sometimes the Conners 3 scales are used for a
routine check, even if there is no reason to suspect the youth is
struggling with a problem. If you are not
sure why the youth was asked to complete the Conners 3, please
ask the assessor listed at the top of this
feedback form.
How does the Conners 3 work?
69. Maggie R read 99 items, and decided how well each statement
described herself, or how often each
behavior happened in the past month (“not at all/never,” “just a
little true/occasionally,” “pretty much
true/often,” or “very much true/very frequently”). Maggie R’s
responses to these 99 statements were
combined into several groups of items. Each group of items
describes a certain type of behavior (for
example, inattention, aggression). Maggie R’s responses were
compared with what is expected for 16-year-
old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar
Maggie R is to her peers. This information
helps the assessor know if Maggie R is having more difficulty
in a certain area than other 16-year-old girls.
Results from the Conners 3–Self-Report Form
The assessor who asked Maggie R to complete the Conners 3
will help explain these results and answer
any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were
calculated from how Maggie R described
herself in the past month. The self-report ratings help the
assessor know how Maggie R acts at home, in
school, and in the community. The results from the self-report
ratings on the Conners 3 should be combined
with other important information, such as interviews with
Maggie R and her parent, other test results, and
observations of Maggie R. All of the combined information is
used to determine if Maggie R needs help in a
certain area and what kind of help is needed.
As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any
additional insights that you might have, make
notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the
scores do not make sense to you, you should
let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible
explanations.
