The
ASEBA Approach
The
Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)
offers a comprehensive approach to assessing adaptive
and maladaptive functioning. Developed through decades
of research and practical experience to identify actual
patterns of functioning, the ASEBA provides professionals
with user-friendly tools.
Numerous
studies demonstrate significant associations between
ASEBA scores and both diagnostic and special education
categories. You can relate ASEBA directly to DSM-IV
diagnostic categories by using the DSM-oriented scales
for scoring ASEBA forms.

|
The
ASEBA approach originated in the 1960s with
Dr. Achenbach’s efforts to develop a more
differentiated picture of child and adolescent
psychopathology than was provided by the prevailing
diagnostic system.
