Description
The empirically-based syndromes scored from the CBCL/1½-5 and C-TRF reflect actual patterns of problems derived from factor analyses that were coordinated between the two instruments. The CBCL/1½-5 also has a Sleep Problems syndrome. Both forms have parallel Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scales and a new Stress Problems scale. An especially valuable feature of the CBCL/1½-5 is the Language Development Survey (LDS), which uses parents’ reports to assess children’s expressive vocabularies and word combinations, as well as risk factors for language delays.
