Summary of Results
Response Style Analysis
Scores on the Validity scales do not indicate a positive, negative, or inconsistent response style.
Overview of Scores
The following graph provides T-scores for each of the Conners Early Childhood BEH–P scales.
Note:
Defiance/Temper and Aggression are subscales of the Defiant/Aggressive Behaviors scale. Social
Functioning and Atypical Behaviors are subscales of the Social Functioning/Atypical Behaviors scale. Sleep
Problems is a subscale of the Physical Symptoms scale.
Summary of Elevated Scores
The following section summarizes areas of concern for 0 based on his parent’s ratings. Note that areas that
are not a concern are not reported in this summary.
Behavior Scales
The T-scores for the following Conners Early Childhood Behavior scales are very elevated (i.e., T-score ≥
70), indicating many more concerns than are typically reported: Social Functioning/Atypical Behaviors (T =
79) and Social Functioning (T = 90).
Conners Early Childhood BEH–P Results and IDEA
Scores suggest possible consideration for IDEA 2004 eligibility in the following area(s): Autism,
Developmental Delay-Cognitive, Developmental Delay-Emotional, Developmental Delay-Social, Emotional
Disturbance and Mental Retardation/Intellectual Disability.
Cautionary Remarks
This Summary of Results section provides information only about areas that are a concern. Please refer to
the remainder of the Assessment Report for further information regarding areas that are not elevated or
could not be scored due to too many omitted items.
Introduction
The Conners Early Childhood Behavior–Parent (Conners Early Childhood BEH–P) is an assessment tool
used to obtain a parent’s observations about his or her child’s behavior. This instrument is designed to
assess a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and social issues in young children. When used in
combination with other information, results from the Conners Early Childhood BEH–P can provide valuable
information to aid in assessment and guide intervention decisions. This report provides information about
the parent's assessment of the child, how he/she compares to other children, and which scales are elevated.
See the Conners Early Childhood Manual (published by MHS) for more information.
This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not be given to parents or other unqualified users,
or used as the sole criterion for clinical decision-making. Administrators are cautioned against drawing
unsupported interpretations. Combining information from this report with information gathered from other
psychometric measures, interviews, observations, and review of available records will give the assessor a
more comprehensive view of the child than might be obtained from any one source. This report is based on
an algorithm that produces the most common interpretations for the obtained scores. Administrators should
review parent’s responses to specific items to ensure that these interpretations apply to the child being
described.
Positive Impression
The Positive Impression score (raw score = 2) does not indicate an overly positive response style.
Negative Impression
The Negative Impression score (raw score = 2) does not indicate an overly negative response style.
Inconsistency Index
The Inconsistency Index score (raw score = 1) does not indicate an inconsistent response style.
Impairment
The parent’s report of 0’s level of impairment in learning/pre-academic, peer interactions, and home settings
is presented below.
Item Item Content Parent's Rating Guideline
0 1 2 3 ?
IM 1 Learning/Pre-Academic ü Problems never seriously affect learning.
IM 2 Peer Interactions ü Problems never seriously affect interactions with other children.
IM 3 Home Life ü Problems never seriously affect home life.
Parent’s rating: 0 = Not true at all (Never, Seldom); 1 = Just a little true (Occasionally); 2 = Pretty much true (Often,
Quite a bit); 3 = Very much true (Very often, Very frequently); ? = Omitted Item.

The information in this table is based on IDEA 2004 and general interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific
state and local education agencies may have specific requirements that supersede these recommendations. The
assessor is reminded to review local policies that may impact decision making. An elevated score is not sufficient
justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. The IDEA 2004 indicates that categorization is not required for provision of
services, particularly in the case of early intervention services. In most districts, a child qualifies for early intervention
services if there is evidence that he/she is at risk for substantial delays if services are not provided (even if no
developmental delays or diagnoses have been documented yet). Please see the Conners Early Childhood Manual for
further discussion of IDEA 2004.
