The Clinical Assessment of Behavior (CAB) is an objective and comprehensive behaviour ratings scale that is closely aligned with current diagnostic criteria found in the DSM-IV-TR. It enables professionals to identify behaviours associated with educationally relevant exceptionalities.

The CAB assesses behaviours that reflect current societal concerns and issues about youth and their behaviour (e.g., bullying, aggression, executive function, gifted and talented).

The CAB includes three separate rating forms:

1. Parent Extended [CAB-PX]
2. Parent
3. Teacher

All three forms contain corresponding items, allowing parents and teachers to contribute equally to the evaluation of target behaviours.

The CAB assesses behaviours that reflect current societal concerns and issues about youth and their behaviour (e.g., bullying, aggression, executive function, gifted and talented).
