Develop an assessment protocol for a 10-year-old who is experiencing behavior problems at school and at home. These problems include physical and verbal aggression towards peers and siblings, refusing to follow school rules, and engaging in dangerous behaviors such as running out in the street. Include a rationale for each of our assessment recommendations
What will be an ideal response?
• Interview child, teacher, and parents to get different perspectives on the issues related to these behaviors
• Observe the child in the clinic and in their natural environment (home, school) to directly assess the nature of the problem
• Standardized testing (IQ test, achievement test, projective tests, self-report) to compare child's issues to others the same age, gender, and perhaps similar behavioral issues; helps in determining if this child's problems are developmentally typical
