Each COS sub-scale score is derived from provider clinical judgment, parent concerns, and developmental assessment results and measured on a 7-point scale, from 1=very early skills (i.e., child does not use any immediate foundational skills related to this outcome) to 7=all skills expected (i.e., there are no concerns about the child’s function in this area).
