In clinical work with children who have developmental disorders, it is often necessary to characterize emotional and interpersonal functioning based on brief, structured observations. The Assessment of the Emotional and Personality Domain in Children With Developmental Disorders is a short rating tool intended to support systematic documentation of these domains. It includes 9 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete.
Ratings are generally informed by the examiner’s observations and interaction with the child, with attention to affective expression, behavioral regulation, and engagement with others. The Assessment of the Emotional and Personality Domain in Children With Developmental Disorders may be used to help summarize current functioning, guide case formulation and intervention planning, and support communication among professionals and caregivers.
