The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment Schedule (ChA-PAS) is for the assessment of mental health problems in children and adolescents with learning disabilities. It has been developed from the adult PAS-ADD system. There are two elements to the pack: Handbook and clinical interview - this contains detailed instructions on the use of the assessment, a semi-structured interview and a clinical glossary that includes tightly drawn definitions for coding the interviewee's responses; and Score forms - these are designed for use with the ChA-PAS handbook and clinical interview to record the interview scores. The interview score forms are available in packs of 20.
