Proper
use of ASEBA instruments requires help from a trained professional
such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, mental health provider,
social worker, pediatrician, or school psychologist. If
you are concerned about your child or others who may need
help, we suggest that you contact a mental health professional
in your community or the guidance department at your child's
school. Professionals who wish to employ ASEBA instruments
should contact us directly for additional information.
The
Child Behavior Checklist for ages 1½-5 and 6-18 (CBCL/1.5-5
and CBCL/6-18) are 4-page questionnaires for obtaining parents'
reports of their child's competencies and problems. We also

Report Form; TRF), Caregivers (Caregiver-Teacher Report
Form; C-TRF/1½-5), adolescents (Youth Self-Report;
YSR), adults (Adult Self-Report; ASR; and Adult Behavior
Checklist; ABCL), older adults (Older Adult Self-Report;
OASR; and Older Adult Behaviour Checklist; OABCL), direct
observers (Direct Observation Form; DOF), clinical interviewers
(Semistructured Clinical Interview for Children & Adolescents;
SCICA), and psychological examiners (Test Observation Form;
TOF).
