BACKGROUND There is a need for brief progress monitoring measures of behavioral and emotional symptoms for youth in out-of-home care. The Symptoms and Functioning Severity Scale (SFSS; Bickman et al., 2010) is one measure that has clinician and youth short forms (SFSS-SFs); however, the psychometric soundness of the SFSS-SFs with youth in out-of-home care has yet to be examined. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine if the psychometric characteristics of the clinician and youth SFSS-SFs are viable for use in out-of-home care programs. METHODS The participants included 143 youth receiving residential treatment and 52 direct care residential staff. The current study assessed internal consistency and alternate forms reliability for SFSS-SFs for youth in a residential care setting. Further, a binary classification test was completed to determine if the SFSS-SFs similarly classified youth as the SFSS full version for low- and elevated-severity. RESULTS The internal consistency for the clinician and youth SFSS-SFs was adequate (α = .75 to .82) as was the parallel forms reliability (r = .85 to .97). The sensitivity (0.80 to 0.95), specificity (0.88 to 0.97), and overall accuracy (0.89 to 0.93) for differentiating low and elevated symptom severity was acceptable. CONCLUSIONS The clinician and youth SFSS-SFs have acceptable psychometrics and may be beneficial for progress monitoring and additional research should clarify their potential for progress monitoring of youth in out-of-home programs.

“…Although rating scales may be the single best indicator of a diagnosis [32], no diagnosis can be made without a multi-method assessment. Additionally, it is possible for individuals to present with symptoms that are not adversely impacting their lives and thus warrant no actual clinical diagnoses.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) continues to grow in prevalence each passing year. As more children are diagnosed, it makes sense that the emerging adult and adult population with ASD also will continue to grow. Although the body of research is quite large for children with ASD, the literature for emerging adults with ASD is sparse in comparison. The current study aimed to extend existing literature further by beginning to explore the realm of emerging adulthood. Specifically, the study investigated the presence of comorbid psychiatric symptoms in emerging adults who also presented with ASD symptoms as measured by the Adult Self-Report (Rescorla and Achenbach in The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) for ages 18 to 90 years. The use of psychological testing for treatment planning and outcomes assessment: volume 3: instruments for adults, 3rd edn. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, pp 115-152, 2004). Emerging adults were categorized as having normal, mild, moderate, or severe levels of ASD symptoms and were compared for the presence of comorbid psychiatric symptoms. Overall, results suggested that emerging adults who presented with greater ASD symptom severity were more likely to experience the presence of additional comorbid symptoms.

ResumenEn el presente estudio se explora la relación entre cognición social y funciones ejecutivas en nueve niños con trastorno negativista desafiante (TND) entre los 7 y 11 años (ciudad de Medellín, Colombia Palabras clave: trastorno negativista desafiante, cognición social, funciones ejecutivas, empatía, teoría de la mente AbstractIn the present study the relationship between social cognition and executive functions in nine children with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) between 7 and 11 years of Medellin (Colombia) is explored. Executive functions were evaluated through the Continuous performance test, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, the Symbol Digit Substituting Test, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Trail Making Test, the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, the Memory curve and The Stroop Color and Word Test. The exploration of social cognition was made through The 'Reading the mind in the eyes' test revised version and Spanish adaptation of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Results highlighting the statistically significant relationship between theory of mind-learning and empathy-inhibitory control, organization/visuospatial planning, sequencing, phonological awareness, memory and executive strategies.
