Taxonomy of Problematic Social Situations for Children (TOPS)

The Taxonomy of Problematic Social Situations for Children (TOPS) was developed by Dodge, McClaskey and Feldman (1985) for use by teachers of primary-aged pupils. It is a teacher-completed rating scale which is designed to identify the particular social situations or tasks a pupil finds difficult. It consists of 44 items, organized into six types of social situations. View Measure | Child Role Play Measure | Reference Article
