The Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales is scored using a PC based software program with responses entered into the program from completed repsonse booklets. Test administration is completed on paper-and-pencil Response Booklets with separate Parent Rating Scales (Conners CBRS-P), the teacher rating scales (Conners CBRS-T) and the self-report rating scales (Conners CBRS-SR) available. Assessment Reports and Progress Reports are also available to help gather and record information and facilitate discussion.
In addition the Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales also includes an auxiliary scale: the Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales Clinical Index, CBRS (CI). The CBRS Clinical Index (CI) form may be administered and hand scored using a Quikscore form. The Conners CBRS Clinical Index forms are available in parents, teachers and self-reports versions. The Clinical Index contains 25 items and is used to determine whether a child is likely to have a clinical diagnosis. The index is helpful when monitoring treatment over a period of time and the client is required to fill out the form multiple times. This index is included in the Conners CBRS, but can also be purchased separately.
