[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 333470, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]The GAF score is always assigned by a psychiatrist. Don't read or put your child in a number because it's all subjective; it's the measure over a period of generally 30 - 90 days. Saying that, GAF is important to me because this score alone determines the level of services I get in my home for kt; the level of services wm receives in foster group home. It's also important as we are in the process of trying to get transition plans going for the tweedles as they are fast approaching 18. It's more important to track the daily mood swings, acting out, being withdrawn, etc than to try & figure out where your difficult child is on the GAF score. You track that in a journal & psychiatrist can assign this number. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
