The Feelings, Attitudes, and Behaviors Scale for Children (FAB-C) is a screening tool that provides a multi-perspective assessment of a child’s social and emotional state.

Suited for clinical and research purposes, the FAB–C is used as a routine screening device in schools, outpatient clinics, residential treatment centres, child protective services, and private practices.

The normative sample consisted of 1,988 children, with separate norms are available for boys and girls in 2-year age intervals.

The FAB-C Forms are available in the QuickScore Format. Responses are marked on the external layers of the form, and the results transfer through to a hidden scoring grid within the internal layers. The assessor then uses the internal layers for tabulating results. Each QuikScore form includes conversion tables, which are used to convert raw scores to T-scores.
