The NGAGED tool assesses personal, family, social, and school environments for children with disabilities. It evaluates the degree to which a child engages in life activities as a function of overall well-being and an indicator of areas needing intervention. The Stress Scale for Children assesses desirable and undesirable life events experienced within the last 6 months to 2 years and the amount of adjustment that was needed to handle the events. The Functional Activities Questionnaire is used for older adults to assess the level of independence demonstrated in the performance of activities of daily living. The Washington Guide to Promoting Development in the Young Child assesses play, motor activities, language, feeding, dressing, toilet training, discipline, and sleep in children from birth to 5 years old.
