The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (Achenbach, 2011 ) is a standardized questionnaire that aims to identify social, behavioral, and emotional problems. The questionnaire includes 8 subscales: Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Rule-Breaking Behavior, and Aggressive Behavior; these symptoms are categorized into one of 3 domains: Internalizing Problems, Externalizing Problems, and Other Problems. The CBCL has been validated in children by other authors (Mazefsky et al., 2011 (link)). By definition, T-scores of ≥ 70 (≥ 98th percentile) are in the clinical range, while values between 65 and 70 (93rd–98th percentile) are in the borderline clinical range, and measurements under 65 (< 93rd percentile) fall within the normal range.
The Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) (Lam & Aman, 2007 (link); Yon, 2017 ) evaluates repetitive behaviors in people with ASD and/or disability through 43 items grouped into 6 different dimensions (stereotypic, self-injurious, compulsive, ritualistic, sameness, and restrictive behavior). The items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = behavior not occurring and 4 = very serious repetitive behavior). The RBS-R has been shown to have excellent psychometric properties and concurrent–divergent validity in a number of countries, including Spain.
