What this assessment of the emotional and personal sphere of children with developmental disorders measures
This assessment of the emotional and personal sphere of children with developmental disorders estimates self-reported child emotional sphere signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into mood swings, social bonds, emotion regulation, self-view. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your child emotional sphere index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed child emotional sphere signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.
