Project Description:

The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop a novel instrument for the measurement of repetitive inflexible behaviors in children with a broad range of neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically developed to be sensitive to the measurement of potential treatment-related change and therefore useful as an endpoint in treatment studies. We are proposing to develop a new instrument, The Behavioral Inflexibility Scale and Clinical Interview.
