Conners' Early Childhood (Conners EC)

The Conners EC is an innovative psychological instrument designed to assess the concerns of parents, teachers, and childcare providers about preschool-aged children. This instrument aids in the early identification of behavioral, social, and emotional problems. The Conners EC also assists in measuring whether or not a child is appropriately meeting major developmental milestones (Adaptive Skills, Communication, Motor Skills, Play, and Pre-Academic/Cognitive).

ASSESSMENT SCALES

Behaviour Scales assessed:

• Inattention/Hyperactivity, Defiant/Aggressive Behaviours, Social Functioning/Atypical Behaviours, Anxiety, Mood and Affect, and Physical Symptoms

• Developmental Milestones assessed: Adaptive Skills, Communication, Motor Skills, Play and Pre-Academic/Cognitive

AREAS OF APPLICATION

The Conners’ EC provides valuable information to consider when determiningwhether or not a child is eligible for early intervention or special education and related services.

REPORT OPTIONS

• Assessment Reports provide detailed information about scores from a single administration, presented both numerically and graphically. An individual's scores are compared to those in the normative sample and elevations at the scale and subscale level are indicated.

• Progress Reports compare the results of two to four administrations for the same individual to measure changes over time, making them ideal for use when monitoring treatment and intervention effectiveness.

• Comparative Reports combine the results of different raters to provide an overview of an individual's scores from a multi-rater perspective, highlighting potentially important inter-rater differences in scores.
