MEGA♪ is a tool for assessing risk for persistent coarse sexual improprieties, and/or youth who are sexually abusive in youth ages 4-19 years. MEGA♪ is applicable for adjudicated or non-adjudicated males, females, and transgender individuals, including youth with low intellectual functioning. Robustly anchored in scientific methods and tested on over 4,000 youth internationally (largest validation studies in its field), MEGA♪ is state of the art and unique. It provides a comprehensive individualized risk assessment report according to age and gender. MEGA♪ can also follow changes in the youth’s risk level over time (an outcome measure).
This training provides certification on how to administer the assessment, as well as how to interpret and apply the MEGA♪ findings.
Professionals do not have to be licensed in the mental health field, but should have at least 2 years’ experience working with sexually abusive youth and/or youth with coarse sexual improprieties.

L.C. Miccio-Fonseca, PhD, is a clinical/research psychologist and a leading expert in the field of child sexual abuse, is author of numerous articles on sexually abusive individuals and assessment of such individuals. Dr. Miccio-Fonseca’s ongoing research on sex offenders (all ages and genders) led to developing unique tools for assessing individuals who are sexually abusive, including MEGA♪ and the Personal Sentence Completion Inventory (PSCI, 1994). The MEGA♪ is a state-of-the-art risk assessment tool for assessing risk and protective factors for coarse sexual improprieties and/or sexually abusive behaviors for adjudicated and non-adjudicated youth ages 4-19 (males, females, and transgender, including youth with low intellectual functioning). The PSCI is the first of its kind, a versatile inventory used in exploring erotic development.
