The clinician rates the individual on each item, using a 4-point rating scale. Ratings are based on frequency of the behavior in question, its intensity, peculiarity, and duration. Physicians, special educators, school psychologists, speech pathologists, and audiologists will all find the CARS-2 easy to give and score.
