Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

For each subscale, the rater reads through the items at each level, starting at the Severe level, until they find a description of the child. Once a description has been found, the child is assigned the item’s corresponding score for the subscale. After assigning the subscale score, the rater moves on to the next subscale.

The PECFAS is objective, has face validity, and is sensitive to client change. It contains a comprehensive list of behavioral descriptors for presenting problems of young children. The PECFAS has been used with a variety of children referred for mental health services who varied in the type and severity of their problems. It has also been used by educational programs, social services, and child welfare agencies.
