Children deserve to be heard. MyOutcomes® brings the power of Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) to younger clients through the Child Outcome Rating Scale (CORS) — a validated, visual-based tool that gives children a voice in their therapeutic journey. CORS is a child-appropriate adaptation of the ORS (Outcome Rating Scale), helping therapists track well-being across key areas of life in under one minute.

“Real change starts when even the youngest voices are heard and understood.”

🌱 Child Outcome Rating Scale (CORS)

What is CORS?

The Child Outcome Rating Scale (CORS) is a validated adaptation of the adult ORS, specifically designed for children aged 6–12. It measures a child’s general sense of well-being across four key areas:

Me
(self-perception and emotional health)
Family
(relationships at home)
School
(academic or classroom experiences)
Everthing
(social life and community)

Each area is rated on a simple visual line with faces or symbols ranging from “not doing well” to “doing very well.” Children move a slider along the line to show how they are feeling, making the process quick, intuitive, and engaging.

Why Use CORS?
