תקציר	The RCADS is a 47-item (or 25-item brief version) self-report measure that assesses the full spectrum of anxiety disorders and major depression in children and adolescents ages 6–18 years. Developed by Bruce Chorpita in 2000, it provides six subscale scores aligned with DSM-IV diagnostic criteria: Separation Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder. The RCADS is designed to be both a screening tool and a diagnostic aid.	The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is a 40-item parent-report measure of autism-spectrum symptoms in children ages 4–15 years. Developed by Michael Rutter, Ann Bailey, and Catherine Lord in 2003, it serves as a brief screening tool for autism spectrum disorder. The SCQ asks parents to recall or report current child behaviors in three domains: reciprocal social interaction, communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviors/interests. It is frequently used in primary care, developmental pediatrics, and research settings to identify children warranting comprehensive autism evaluation.
