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.
