Differentiate Between Emotional Disturbance and Social Maladjustment with Two CAB Scales and Meet IDEA Requirements
The CAB is an objective, comprehensive, and highly reliable behavior rating scale for children and adolescents that is closely aligned with current diagnostic criteria found in the DSM-IV-TR™ and IDEA.
Features and benefits
- Assists in the identification of children and adolescents across a wide age range who are in need of behavioral, educational, or psychiatric treatment or intervention.
- Assesses behaviors that reflect current societal concerns and issues about youth and their behavior (e.g., bullying, aggression, executive function, gifted and talented).
- A balanced theoretical framework of both competence-based qualities and problem-based concerns makes the CAB useful for evaluating adaptive strengths and clinical risks.
- IDEA requires that emotional disturbance, an educationally related disorder, be differentiated from social maladjustment; two CAB scales, Emotional Disturbance and Social Maladjustment, can be used to help differentiate these conditions. The Professional Manual addresses these scales with a case example, discussion of interpretation, and, to further differentiate ED and SM, discrepancy score tables for each of the CAB forms.

Technical information
- Normative data include 2,114 parent ratings and 1,689 teacher ratings.
- Scale and cluster internal consistency necessary coefficients are .88 and higher across the three CAB forms.
- Test-retest reliability coefficients across the three CAB forms ranged from .77 to .95.
- Scales and clusters on all CAB forms demonstrate good evidence of validity based on test content; factor analytic studies; convergent and discriminant evidence; and concurrent validity studies across various clinical groups, including conduct/disruptive behavioral disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and ADD/ADHD.
