The Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS™) is an integrated system designed to facilitate the
identification and classification of prosocial and problem behaviors and to aid in the design of intervention
plans. The SSIS Rating Scales provides a broad assessment of a student's social behaviors, behaviors that
can affect teacher-student relations, peer acceptance, and academic performance. Interventions will be
recommended from the SSIS Intervention Guide. This computer-generated report should not be the sole
basis for making important diagnostic or treatment decisions.

This report is based on Ann Teacher's rating of Andrew's behavior using the SSIS Rating Scales Teacher Form. The narrative and
behavior levels in this report are based on scores obtained using Male norms.
Scores for the Social Skills, Problem Behaviors, and Academic Competence scales are reported as standard scores and
percentiles. Standard scores are derived from the scores of a large nationally representative sample of individuals having a similar
age and the same sex as Andrew. They have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. A percentile indicates the percent of
individuals from this representative sample who scored at or below Andrew's score.
Social Skills Scale
The Social Skills scale of the SSIS Rating Scales comprises a broad array of prosocial behaviors. Social skills are defined as
socially acceptable learned behaviors used to promote positive interactions while simultaneously discouraging negative
interactions. Sharing, helping, initiating relationships, and controlling one's temper are all examples of social skills that are
commonly valued in society. While few children exhibit a high level of prosocial skills all the time, low scores on this scale may
indicate a need for intervention.
e
Andrew's Social Skills scale standard score is 84, with a 68% confidence interval range of 81 - 87 and a percentile rank
of 15. Andrew's standard score on this scale falls in the Below Average behavior level.
The SSIS Rating Scales organize prosocial behaviors into seven areas or subscales: Communication, Cooperation, Assertion,
Responsibility, Empathy, Engagement, and Self-Control. For these Social Skills subscales, the raw score is described using one
of three behavior levels: Below Average, Average, and Above Average. A Below Average behavior level on any Social Skills
pl
subscale indicates that the individual may need direct instruction to improve her/his skills.
The Communication subscale includes behaviors such as: making eye contact when talking, and saying "please" and
"thank you". Andrew's raw score is 13 and falls in the Average behavior level.
The Cooperation subscale includes behaviors such as: following rules, and completing tasks without bothering others.
Andrew's raw score is 6 and falls in the Below Average behavior level.
The Assertion subscale includes behaviors such as: asks for help when needed, and says when there's a problem.
m
Andrew's raw score is 11 and falls in the Average behavior level.
The Responsibility subscale includes behaviors such as: respects the property of others, and is well-behaved when
unsupervised. Andrew's raw score is 11 and falls in the Average behavior level.
The Empathy subscale includes behaviors such as: tries to comfort others, and feels bad when others are sad. Andrew's
raw score is 6 and falls in the Below Average behavior level.
The Engagement subscale includes behaviors such as: invites others to join in activities, makes friends easily, and
introduces himself to others. Andrew's raw score is 11 and falls in the Average behavior level.
Sa
The Self-Control subscale includes behaviors such as: stays calm when teased, and uses appropriate behavior when
upset. Andrew's raw score is 7 and falls in the Below Average behavior level.
Problem Behaviors Scale
The SSIS Rating Scales Problem Behaviors scale comprises a broad array of behaviors, some relatively mild and more
commonly exhibited by youth (e.g., acts without thinking, fidgets, has difficulty waiting for a turn), and some infrequently
observed and more severe (e.g., bullies others, talks back to adults, withdraws from others, performs non-functional behaviors or
rituals). All of these behaviors can interfere with an individual's social skill development. While all children demonstrate some
problem behaviors from time to time, a high score on this scale indicates that the child is exhibiting more problems more
consistently.
Andrew's Problem Behaviors standard score is 116, with a 68% confidence interval range of 113 - 119 and a percentile
rank of 83. This standard score falls in the Above Average behavior level.
The SSIS Rating Scales organize problem behaviors into five subscales: Externalizing, Bullying, Hyperactivity/Inattention,
Internalizing, and Autism Spectrum. Scores are described using three behavior levels: Below Average, Average, and Above
Average. Problem Behaviors subscale scores that fall in the Above Average behavior level indicate that the individual exhibits
more problem behaviors than his peers and that intervention designed to reduce such behaviors may be warranted.
The Externalizing subscale includes behaviors such as: disobeys rules, fights with others, and has temper tantrums.
Andrew's raw score is 21 and falls in the Above Average behavior level.
The Bullying subscale includes behaviors such as: does things to make people scared, and keeps others out of social
circles. Andrew's raw score is 7 and falls in the Above Average behavior level.

Teacher Letter Andrew
Dear Teacher:
The Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) Rating Scales measure behaviors that describe how Andrew relates with adults
and peers. This letter summarizes the results from the SSIS Rating Scales Teacher form completed 10/13/2008. Results are based
on your ratings of Andrew's behaviors.
The Social Skills scale of the SSIS Rating Scales includes many different prosocial behaviors that students may do when they
interact with others. Social skills are defined as socially acceptable learned behaviors used to promote positive interactions while
simultaneously discouraging negative interactions. Sharing, helping, initiating relationships, and controlling one's temper are all
examples of social skills that are commonly valued in society. While few students show a high level of prosocial skills all the
time, a low level on this scale may indicate a need for intervention.
Andrew's Social Skills score is described using one of five levels: Well-below Average, Below Average, Average, Above
Average, and Well-above Average. These categories are based on results from a large, representative sample of students the same
age as Andrew.
e
Overall Andrew's Social Skills were rated Below Average.
The Social Skills scale is divided into seven subscales: Communication, Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy,
Engagement, and Self-Control. Performance on each Social Skills subscale is described using one of three levels: Below
Average, Average, and Above Average.
The Communication subscale includes behaviors such as: making eye contact when talking and saying "please" and
pl
"thank you." Andrew's Communication subscale falls in the Average level.
The Cooperation subscale includes behaviors such as: following rules and completing tasks without bothering others.
Andrew's Cooperation subscale falls in the Below Average level.
The Assertion subscale includes behaviors such as: asks for help when needed, and says when there's a problem.
Andrew's Assertion subscale falls in the Average level.
The Responsibility subscale includes behaviors such as: respects the property of others, and is well-behaved when
m
unsupervised. Andrew's Responsibility subscale falls in the Average level.
The Empathy subscale includes behaviors such as: tries to comfort others, and feels bad when others are sad. Andrew's
Empathy subscale falls in the Below Average level.
The Engagement subscale includes behaviors such as: invites others to join in activities, makes friends easily, and
introduces himself to others. Andrew's Engagement subscale falls in the Average level.
The Self-Control subscale includes behaviors such as: stays calm when teased, and uses appropriate behavior when
