*Participants will be e-mailed a link to join the virtual session approximately 1-2 days prior to the training.

The Preschool and Early Childhood Functional Assessment Scale (PECFAS) allows the clinician to objectively assess the degree of impairment in young children with emotional, behavioral, psychiatric, or substance use problems. Use of the PECFAS will enhance the ability of Psychologists, Counselors and Social Workers to identify the types and degrees of functional impairments, making it a valuable clinical tool. This online seminar provides detailed training on the uses of the PECFAS, the guidelines and scoring principals as well as a complete explanation of the scoring of each of the subscales. This online training includes interactive quizzes on each subscale, opportunities for the participants to ask questions and engage in practice exercises. Training/scoring guidelines, tips and strategies will be presented. Participants can anticipate passing Reliability testing and becoming a confident trainer.
