Session 5: More Information About Determining a Rating
In Session 4, you learned about the specific criteria for each of the ratings on the 7-point scale.

Learning Outcomes
In this session, you will gain an understanding of how to:
- Use the decision tree, a tool to help distinguish between the ratings; and
- Determine ratings for children with special circumstances.
