Scoring sheets are used to record what?

• A. The child's actions and responses
• B. The screener's impressions
• C. The parent's opinions
• D. The program budget

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that scoring sheets are meant to capture observable data about the child during assessment. They document what the child does and how they respond to tasks, prompts, or activities in a clear, structured way. By focusing on concrete actions and responses, scoring sheets provide an objective record that can be analyzed over time to monitor progress and inform decisions about supports or next steps. They aren’t for jotting the screener’s impressions, which are subjective judgments; they aren’t for recording parents’ opinions, which belong on separate feedback forms; and they aren’t for financial details like the program budget.
