Description:

The Pre-School and Early Childhood Functional Assessment Scale (PECFAS) allows the clinician to objectively assess the degree of impairment in school-aged youth with emotional, behavioral, psychiatric, or substance use problems. Use of the PECFAS will enhance the ability of Psychologists, Counselors and Social Workers to identify the types and degrees of functional impairments, making it a valuable clinical tool. This seminar provides detailed training on the uses of the PECFAS; the guidelines and scoring principals as well as a complete explanation of the scoring of each of the subscales. This training includes interactive quizzes on each subscale and the Reliability Vignettes, which include mentoring and will be scored on-site. Training/scoring guidelines, tips and strategies will be presented. Participants can anticipate passing Reliability testing and becoming a confident trainer.
Objective:
  1. Describe the importance of the PECFAS as a research-based tool, with proven validity and reliability.
  2. Define the research and clinical uses of the PECFAS, including age ranges and appropriate clinical settings. 
  3. List the general rules of scoring the PECFAS and the specific scoring guidelines for each subscale.
  4. Successfully score Participant’s Reliability Tests and maintain the reliability status of your trainees.
