Aあhome, in the family’s language
Drawn for this page. A parent rating is only as good as the family’s chance to read and answer it in a language they know well.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a code or initials and the date the family finished the form.
  2. Note who completed it, the languages at home and how the form was completed.
  3. Enter the scale scores and how often the family sees each behavior at home.
  4. Write the family’s biggest concern and hope in their own words.
  5. Compare with school, and go through the form with the family if the language checks flag it.

Reading a family rating

Why family ratings

Families see the child across years, people and places school never reaches. Federal rules require evaluation data to include information from the parent.

Language and the form

A form read in a language the family does not read well, or translated without new norms, can give scores that say more about the form than the child. The family’s examples carry more weight then.

What it is not

One family rating is one source. The organizer applies no cutoff and does not decide eligibility.
