Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (ÇATÖ)
Screening for anxiety symptoms
Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (ÇATÖ) assesses screening for anxiety symptoms. A structured screening of anxiety symptoms, used only where a specific question has already been raised by another measure, an observation or an interview.
What it makes visible
- Covers several symptom clusters rather than a single global anxiety score.
- Administered and interpreted only by a qualified clinical practitioner.
- Consent and the referral route are settled before administration.
Scope and limits
This is a screening and assessment instrument; it does not make a clinical diagnosis. The exact scope of use must be verified against the relevant instrument form, its norm group and the conditions of administration.

Scope note
This structure is designed to support assessment, screening and guidance processes — not to make a clinical diagnosis. The aim is not to diagnose but to know the student more accurately, follow their development and identify the support they need in time.
