About this file

This is a psychological evaluation form template issued by the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (SCDJJ) for use at its Coastal/Midlands/Upstate Evaluation Center. The form, designated 904A and updated in October 2019, serves as the standardized document for conducting psychosocial evaluations or community psychology evaluations of juveniles in the SCDJJ system. The form is designed to collect comprehensive information through multiple sources including interviews with the juvenile and parents, contact with community specialists and Department of Social Services, review of DJJ file information, and psychological testing. The evaluation captures critical areas of assessment including DJJ history and current offense details, family functioning, adolescent functioning across developmental, medical, trauma, placement, school, peer, and community dimensions, mental health symptomatology, psychological assessment results, behavioral observations, cognitive and academic functioning, personality and emotional testing, and psychosexual assessment where applicable for sexual offenses. The form concludes with sections for resiliency factors, summary and conclusions, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations. All evaluations are explicitly marked confidential and include strict notice regarding unauthorized disclosure prohibitions and limitations on information sharing due to potential harm to the juvenile.

The form includes detailed confidentiality warnings and notices that evaluations are not confidential within the SCDJJ system and will be shared with attorneys, family court officials, and SCDJJ personnel. Prior to evaluation, juveniles and parents must be informed of the evaluation's purpose, information types requested, information usage, and mandatory reporting requirements for suspected child abuse or neglect. The form requires documented acknowledgment that juveniles and parents understand confidentiality limitations and consent to evaluation participation. This template serves as the operational document for the broader SCDJJ psychological evaluation services contract solicitation, which involves fixed-price bids for pre-dispositional evaluations, sexual offender risk assessments, pre-adjudicatory waiver evaluations, and waiver testimony services throughout South Carolina.
