History And Comparison
Repeated entries can be grouped by feeling or situation to show descriptive change, highest and lowest ratings, and incomplete entries.
Limitations
The tool does not create diagnosis, clinical thresholds, automated risk status, treatment recommendations, or readiness decisions.
Is this a symptom severity scale?
No. It is a descriptive 1-10 emotion-intensity rating tool tied to specific feelings or situations.
Can ratings be compared over time?
Yes. Repeated ratings can be displayed together when the scale context and target are preserved.
What if a child enters vague distress only?
The entry is retained as incomplete or low-specificity rather than being converted into a completed rating.
Does the tool tell the practitioner what action to take?
No. It shows descriptive ratings and trends; practitioner interpretation and pacing decisions remain outside the system.
