About The Abel Assessment for sexual interest-2^™ for Adolescents

The Abel Assessment for sexual interest-2 ^™ (AASI-2) is a comprehensive tool for the evaluation of boys and girls, ages 12-17, who sexually abuse younger children or who have other problematic sexual behavior. It is specifically designed to objectively measure a client's sexual interests and obtain information regarding involvement in a number of abusive or problematic sexual behaviors. The AASI-2 is available in English or Spanish.

Because different sections of the assessment system work together, the AASI-2 is really a system of evaluation tools that allow the therapist to quickly receive a range of valuable information organized in one detailed report.
