This form contains phrases that describe how children may act. Please read each phrase and select the response that describes how this child has behaved recently (in the last several months).

Select N if the behavior never occurs.
Select S if the behavior sometimes occurs.
Select O if the behavior often occurs.
Select A if the behavior almost always occurs.

Please mark every item. If you don't know or are unsure of your response to an item, give your best estimate. A "Never" response does not mean that the child "never" engages in a behavior, only that you have not observed the child behaving that way.
