The third in the EDDT series, the EDDT-SR is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment designed to assist in the identification of children who qualify for the federal special education category of emotional disturbance (ED). The EDDT-SR is completed by children and adolescents ages 9-18 years and is intended to be used in conjunction with EDDT parent and/or teacher versions to develop a well-rounded picture of an individual's functioning.

Features and Benefits

• Based on the criteria presented in the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) with scales that map directly onto this criteria. Provides a standardized approach to help clinicians obtain a child's perspective of his or her functioning in IDEA areas.

• Additional analysis and scores have been developed for all three EDDT versions including base rates for discrepancies between raters and reliable change scores.

• Brief vignettes are included that aid clinicians in troubleshooting problems that may occur when using self-report measures and help illustrate how to use self-report data in conjunction with other assessment and interview data.
