Here is an alternative for educators and clinicians who evaluate young children.

This scale measures social competence, affective expression, and adjustment in children 30 months to 76 months.
 
Information That’s Helpful to Teachers
The primary objective of the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE) is to describe the child’s behavior for purposes of socialization and education, rather than diagnosis. It focuses on the child’s adaptation to and functioning within his or her environment--which is particularly relevant to teachers. The SCBE helps teachers design classroom interventions that address both the child’s strengths and weaknesses.
 
The SCBE is particularly useful to educators as a standardized description of a child’s social and emotional adjustment to the classroom setting.
 
The scale’s high reliability makes it ideal for outcome assessment in experimental intervention programs. It is an excellent tool for evaluating the child’s ongoing adaptation at various ages.
