Self-report sexual arousal graphs
These graphs can be useful for generating conversations with an adolescent or adult client regarding sexual arousal patterns. There is one graph regarding how the client would rate their level of sexual arousal to males in different age groups, and another graph for how the client would rate their level of sexual arousal to females in different age groups. Clients can also indicate how the thought of using force might impact their level of sexual arousal to individuals in various age groups. A suggested instructional guide is also available to accompany the graphs.

Simple scaling tools to generate discussions with clients regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.
Using these scales, one can say, "Many people exist somewhere on this line, where would you say you are today? What's the furthest to this end that you have been? What's the furthest to this end? Where would you like to be in the future?" Additional questions can provide information regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.

Body Diagrams
For some clients, it is easier to indicate the nature of the abusive behaviour by using a diagram. One can ask the client to take a marker and draw arrows to show, "What parts of your body touched what parts of their body?". Then draw arrows to show, "What parts of their body touched what parts of your body?"

DASH-13 (Desistence for Adolescents who Sexually Harm; Worling, 2013)
The DASH-13 contains 13 putative protective factors linked to adolescent sexual recidivism. The DASH-13 contains factors related to both sexual (e.g., sexual interests) and general (e.g., compassion for others) functioning, and this tool led to the development of the PROFESOR (Protective + Risk Observations For Eliminating Sexual Offense Recidivism; Worling, 2017).

Sexual Offending Guilt, Shame, and Resiliency Questionnaire (soGSR-Q); Worling, 2006; 2021
The soGSR is a measure of feelings of guilt, shame, and resiliency related to past sexual offending behaviour. There is a self-report version for individuals who have engaged in sexually harming behaviour, and there is also a parent version to assess the level of shame, guilt, and resiliency that parents feel related to their youth's sexually harming behaviour. A partner version is also now available for partners of adults who have engaged in sexually harming behaviour.
In 2021, the self-report version of the soGSR-Q was revised, and normative data are available for a small sample of youth aged 12-25. Currently, normative data for the parent and partner versions are not available.

Youth Needs and Progress Scale (Righthand, Worling, Prentky, & Kang, 2020)
This 22-item scale is designed to assist clinicians, probation officers, forensic evaluators, the courts, and other service providers and decision makers in:
• Identifying risk-relevant intervention needs,
• Prioritizing appropriate intervention strategies,
• Monitoring progress toward resolving identified needs,
• Facilitating case and/or treatment plan revisions according to current needs, and
• Evaluating the completion of interventions and readiness for discharge.
