Responsibility
51 items that assess the extent to which a young person is managing life tasks that enable independent living in four content areas of Organization & Planning, Taking Care of Daily Needs, Health Management, and Staying Safe.
The items in the Responsibility Scale require children to use several functional skills in combination to carry out life tasks. For this reason, this is a more difficult domain and is estimated to assess children and youth beginning at the age of 3 years and extending up to the age of 21 years.

The Responsibility domain has its own 5 point Responsibility Scale with responses ranging from ‘Adult/caregiver has full responsibility; the child does not take any responsibility’ to ‘Child takes full responsibility without any direction, supervision or guidance from an adult/caregiver’.
