The Children’s Psychological Processes Scale (CPPS) is a web-based teacher rating scale designed to assess psychological processes related to academic learning in children ages 5 through 12 years.

The main function of the CPPS is to facilitate the identification of psychological processing deficits in children referred for a learning disability evaluation. It is also suitable for screening and measuring response to interventions.

The CPPS consists of 121 items divided among 11 process scales.

Scales:

1. Attention
2. Auditory Processing
3. Executive Functions
4. Fine Motor
5. Fluid Reasoning
6. Long-Term Recall
7. Oral Language
8. Phonological Processing
9. Processing Speed
10. Visual-Spatial Processing
11. Working Memory

The items describe academically related, psychological processing difficulties that can readily be observed by classroom teachers.

The ratings are compiled to generate a report that is free with the purchase of rating forms. The reports include a brief narrative, a graph, a table of scores, change-sensitive W-scores and a discrepancy table for determining intra-individual strengths and weaknesses.
