(SRS-2) Social Responsiveness Scale
John M. Constantino, MD
Completed in just 15 to 20 minutes, the SRS-2 identifies social impairment associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and quantifies its severity. Sensitive enough to detect even subtle symptoms but specific enough to differentiate clinical groups, the SRS-2 can be used to monitor symptoms throughout the life span. This assessment allows you to assess social impairment in natural settings—teachers, parents, and others are asked to rate symptoms that they've noticed over time at home, in the classroom, or elsewhere.
Raters evaluate symptoms using a quantitative scale representing a range of severity. In addition to a total score reflecting severity of social deficits in the autism spectrum, five treatment subscale scores are provided: Social Awareness, Social Cognition, Social Communication, Social Motivation, Restricted Interests and Repetitive Behavior. Two subscales are considered DSM-5™-compatible: Scores on these subscales make it easy to compare your client's symptoms to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for ASD. The SRS-2 unlimited-use scoring program gives you a detailed report with useful descriptive information that can inform intervention.
