D-REF FAQs

There were times that the rating forms showed up as "In Progress" after the ratings were completed. How do I move the assessment to "Ready for Reporting" status?

Open the assessment in edit mode and verify that all required fields have been entered.

Why are there no “Previous” or “Back” buttons to correct mistakes during the assessment?

“Previous” or “Back” options will be included in a future software update. One feature of the on-line administration is the tracking of time between responses.  This may be an indicator that the client is struggling with the response and give insight for further questioning.

What if the parent or teacher does not have access to a computer or the internet?

The Rating Forms are available for  download in the Resource Library. A hard copy of the assessment may be printed for the parent or teacher.

Top 5 Stressors - "I checked a stressor but it didn't show up in the report."

The Top 5 Stressors section of the assessments allows for only five items to the selected. If a sixth stressor is selected, the first selected stressor will be unchecked automatically.

Why can't I enter "times between items" when hand entering the item choices?

Since the data entry of the assessment is not happening in real time with the client, interstitial times are irrelevant.
