3. In the main body, you will see a list of symptoms with three response options: 'Never,' 'Sometimes,' and 'Often.' For each symptom, select the response that best describes the child's behavior.
4. Continue marking your responses for each of the 17 symptoms listed. Each response will help in evaluating the child's emotional and behavioral health.
