“…To counteract these problems, it is often best to have multiple informants (e.g., parent and teacher(s)) complete rating scales during the assessment. However, low interrater reliability is also a significant problem (Mandal et al, 1999;Reid & Maag, 1994). Agreement is commonly low to moderate between raters in different settings, however, multiple ratings may be considered useful as they collectively provide more information about a child than a single rating (Elliott, Busse, & Gresham, 1993).…”

“…Narrow-band scales are also recommended for use in the initial screening of ADHD (Barkley, 1998). These scales are designed to focus more specifically on symptoms relevant to the disorder being assessed (e.g., inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity).Despite the many benefits of using rating scales, there are a number of limitations to their use, including subjectivity and reporter bias (Mandal, Olmi, & Wilczynski, 1999;Reid & Maag, 1994). To counteract these problems, it is often best to have multiple informants (e.g., parent and teacher(s)) complete rating scales during the assessment.…”

“…In fact, other pieces of evaluation data suggesting ADHD seemed to outweigh behavior rating scale scores that did not support the diagnosis of ADHD. Thus, results from the current study imply that school psychologists are engaging in best practices when using behavior rating scale results as advocated by numerous authors (Angello et al, 2003;Carter et al, 2004;Chafouleas et al, 2007;Reid & Maag, 1994;Sattler, 2002).…”

“…The use of the scales for screening purposes is widely accepted (Carter, Briggs-Gowan, & Davis, 2004). However, using behavior rating scales for diagnostic purposes is more controversial with numerous authors stating the scales are not sufficient for determining a diagnosis (Carter et al, 2004;Chafouleas et al, 2007;Reid & Maag, 1994;Sattler, 2002). Best practices in diagnostic assessment would dictate that behavior rating scales should only be used in conjunction with other methods of assessment, such as interviews with the parents and teachers, direct observations, review of school records, and achievement assessments (Angello et al, 2003).…”
