the CASSS show good reliability and validity
but have only been validated in Caucasian and
middle to upper class samples. In addition,
these measures only assess support from parents,
peers, and teachers. Despite the SSSC’s
3.9 reading level, its format (i.e., read two
statements and select which is more true and
then indicate the degree to which the statement
is true) has been observed to be complicated
for some younger children.
