About Barkley Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale--Children
Product Description Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is increasingly recognized as a valid attention disorder distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The culmination of more than 10 years of research and development, the Barkley Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale–Children and Adolescents (BSCTS-CA) is the first empirically based, norm-referenced tool designed to assess SCT symptoms (for example, chronic daydreaming, inability to focus, and lethargy) in the daily life activities of 6- to 17-year-olds. The scale typically takes a parent less than 5 minutes to complete. Detailed instructions for scoring and interpretation are provided. Also included is a clinical interview form based on the rating scale, for use in unusual circumstances where a parent is unable to fill out a rating scale. QUICK VIEW: What does it do?: Assesses concentration deficits in the daily life activities of children and adolescents. Age Range: 6–17. Administration Time: Less than 5 minutes. Format: Parent-report rating scale. Cost of Additional Forms: No cost--purchasers get permission to reproduce the forms and score sheets for repeated use. See also the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA) and the Barkley Functional Impairment Scale--Children and Adolescents (BFIS-CA). Includes Permission to Photocopy Enhancing the convenience and value of the BSCTS-CA, the limited photocopy license allows purchasers to reproduce the forms and score sheets and yields considerable cost savings over other available scales. The large format and sturdy wire binding facilitate photocopying.

Carefully developed and evaluated in a large, representative sample, the BSCTS-CA will be of tremendous use to clinicians and researchers alike. This user-friendly manual presents compelling evidence for the validity, reliability, and clinical importance of SCT in youth. Once again, Barkley has used his extensive expertise to provide the field with an exceptional tool for anyone interested in attentional problems in children and adolescents."--Stephen P. Becker, PhD, Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center; Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine "This is an important contribution from one of the pioneers in the discovery and research of SCT. Readers accustomed to dry technical manuals will be pleasantly surprised. The manual begins with a scholarly primer on SCT that manages to be accessible and easily understood, all the while surveying virtually everything that is known about SCT. The remainder of the manual focuses on the careful derivation and meticulous norming of the scale. The BSCTS-CA is an instrument with strong psychometric properties and gender- and age-based norms for children and adolescents that will help any clinician make defensible, evidence-based interpretations for their patients."--Keith McBurnett, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco "Barkley has done it again! This rating scale and manual cut through the controversy about SCT with scholarly precision. You will learn how to identify SCT, why it is a valid category, and how it differs from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The BSCTS-CA comes complete with norms and data supporting its use as an evidence-based assessment tool. Clinicians, researchers, and students will value this resource."--Stephen V.
