For adolescents, the plotted T scores are based on the adolescent nonpatient norms.

			Progress Report&nbsp;This report is designed for monitoring a client&#39;s progress over time. Provided at no additional charge, it graphically displays scale-by-scale changes in a client&#39;s scores for up to five previously reported BSI administrations.
