Social Responsiveness Scale™, Second Edition

Purpose: Identifies the presence and severity of autistic social impairment

Format: Paper and pencil, Software

Age range: 3 years to 99 years

DETAILS:

The SRS-2 identifies social impairment associated with ASD and quantifies its severity. Sensitive enough to detect even subtle symptoms but specific enough to differentiate clinical groups, the SRS-2 can be used to monitor symptoms throughout the life span.

Features and Benefits

• Allows you to assess social impairment in natural settings—teachers, parents, and others are asked to rate symptoms that they've noticed over time at home, in the classroom, or elsewhere. Raters evaluate symptoms using a quantitative scale representing a range of severity.

• In addition to a total score reflecting the severity of social deficits in the autism spectrum, five treatment subscale scores are provided: Social Awareness, Social Cognition, Social Communication, Social Motivation, and Restricted Interests and Repetitive Behavior. Two subscales are considered DSM-5™-compatible: Scores on these subscales make it easy to compare your client's symptoms to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for ASD.
