This is a screening method carried out for children between the age of 3 and 16 years old. It contains twenty-five items which are identified in 5 subscales.

This is a report that contains 10 item to be filled by the parent and the teacher in the process of screening for RAD symptoms on a child. In this report they are six items which identifies and provide the description for the inhibited RAD behaviors and 4 items which are described as disinhibited RAD behaviors among children (Minnis et al, 2013, p. 342).
