Which instrument has a version specifically for children?

• A. STAI
• B. GAF
• C. WHODAS
• D. ORS

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing which assessment tool has an officially adapted form for children. The Global Assessment of Functioning is designed to measure overall functioning across psychological, social, and occupational domains. It has a child-specific adaptation—the Children’s Global Assessment Scale—which tailors the descriptors to developmental expectations and the unique contexts of children (like school performance and peer interactions). That connection to a pediatric version makes it the best choice when a child-specific form is required. The other instruments are primarily used with adults or do not have a standard, widely accepted pediatric version in routine practice.
