Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral observation can be most accurately assessed by observing the child in naturalistic settings or analog tasks that mimic real-life situations. Parental reports can be helpful but may not provide a complete picture of the child's behavior. Informal observations in the clinic may not be representative of the child's behavior in other settings. Clinicians in different settings may use different methods of observation.
