This spiral
bound Parent Booklet is to be completed by the
parent. This booklet provides an alternative method for the assessment
of skills that are difficult to observe. It is skill specific rather
than exclusively knowledge based.
|
|
|
The Initial
Screening Tool
(IST) is to be completed by the referrer or another professional who
knows the family well. The assessment domains on the IST have been
condensed into 15 sections, for ease of completion. IST scores are
useful for making comparisons across families so that their needs can
be prioritised.
|
|
|
All of
the PAMS 3.0 skills have been designed to be clearly
observable. More complex parenting skills can be assessed in
greater detail using the Observation Form. This
data is then transferred on to the worksheets at the
post-assessment stage.
|
|
|
Observation data
(from the Observation form above) is presented as a Graph
