Few instruments accurately assess the feelings of young or less verbal children in clinical practice today.
The MAAC (Mood Assessment via Animated Characters) has been developed to enable young children (under age 8) to effectively identify their feelings by comparing themselves to emotions acted out by a female cartoon character.
MAAC is now available free of charge to clinicians in children’s mental health on their site.
Finding new ways of working together, with the ultimate goal of integrating research, education and clinical care to improve children's health.
