The CBCL (1 ½ to 5) was parent-reported outcome measure used to assess behavioral, emotional, and social functioning of toddlers and preschool children aged 18-60 months. It is composed of 99 items rated on Likert scale and includes 7 syndrome scales under 2 domains (Internalizing and Externalizing Problems): Internalizing includes syndromes of Emotionally Reactive, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, and Withdrawn. Externalizing includes syndromes of Aggressive Behavior and Attention Problems. The 2 domains of all 7 scales were combined to form total score range of 23 to 100. For each question, raw scores of all subscales are converted to standardized T-scores. Higher T score indicates more behavior problems. For Internalization, Externalization and Total Behavior Problem, T-scores of less than 60 are considered non-clinical, 60-63 are borderline, and 64 or more are considered clinical.

The ADHD-RS measures the behaviors of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It consisted of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD based on DSM-IV criteria. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (reflecting no symptoms) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms) with total scores ranging from 0 to 54. Higher scores represent greater severity of ADHD symptoms.

The SCQ is a brief instrument evaluate communication skills and social functioning in children used for screening for autism or autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The SCQ has 40 dichotomous (yes, no) items, and each item scored 1 point for "abnormal behavior" and 0 point for "absence of abnormal behavior/normal behavior." It yields total score ranging from 0 to 39, higher scores represent more social communication impairment. The first item, "Is she/he now able to talk using short phrases or sentences?", is not scored, but determines if six items relating to abnormal language are assigned. Only "verbal" children (children with "yes" response to first question) are assigned the six items relating to abnormal language and can score a total of 0 to 39 points; "non-verbal" children (children with "no" response to first question) are not assigned six items in relation to abnormal language and score a total of 0 to 33 points where higher scores represent more social communication impairment.
