[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 199462, member: 5848"] The psychiatric is reporting percentile ranks not percentages. For example, This means that on the checklists used (parent, teacher, student etc.) his behavior was rated as bad as or worse than 90% of children his age/grade (depending on the norms used). Your therapist was right in how she described it: if you were to line up 100 kids difficult child's behavior was rated worse than 90 of them. Using checklists like this is actually fairly common. Not all checklists/inventories are created equal (depends on reliability, validity etc.) and some should only be used for screening while others can be used to make clinical decisions. I think it's better than a diagnostic interview/intake but not as good as a direct assessment (e.g. a test of executive functioning). The best approach is to use all. I'm not quite sure how the psychiatric got working memory disorder from these checklists. It would make more sense to me if he had a direct assessment in there. [/QUOTE]
