Allied Behavioral Health Solutions and AIMHiTN partnered with the Alliance to create and develop 5 video series to examine what it means to observe, listen, wonder, and respond when working with infants, young children, and their families. These "4 Little Words", coined by Deborah Weatherston, PhD, IMH-E®, have been a framework for many infant-young child and family professionals.

ADS Scales

Attachment During Stress Scale (ADS Scale)

A mental health screening instrument, the scale provides indicators of mother-infant attachment.  It can also assess the quality of father-infant or caretaker-infant interaction.  The scale screens for conditions as diverse as lack of infant responsiveness in autism or parental avoidance in child neglect, and can guide treatment.  As a public service, the ADS scale is free for downloading and printing.  English, Spanish and French versions are given. The scale is fully self-contained, self-guiding, and rapid to use.
