Gain a Parent's Perspective as You Evaluate a Child for Emotional Disturbance

Based on the EDDT, which is a teacher questionnaire, the EDDT-PF adds a parental perspective in the evaluation of children for ED.

Features and benefits

  • Provides a standardized approach to gaining parental ratings that directly map onto the federal criteria for special education and helps you understand the parent’s perspective on his or her child’s functioning in the areas that make up these criteria.
  • Includes four ED characteristic-based scales: Inability to Build or Maintain Relationships, Inappropriate Behaviors or Feelings, Pervasive Mood/Depression, and Physical Symptoms or Fears.
  • Scales reflect specific components of the federal criteria from the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and IDEA for qualifying for special education services.
  • Multi-Rater Summary Forms can be used in conjunction with the EDDT and EDDT-SR to review responses from multiple raters over time to create a well-rounded picture of an individual's functioning.

Available in Spanish

It includes a combined score profile to represent similarities and differences between raters graphically and highlights statistically significant score differences. The EDDT Criteria Table aligns each rater’s scores to the federal criteria for ED diagnosis. To view a sample report, click the Resources tab above.
