Rubrics may not cover all aspects of the child's behaviors or skills. Another disadvantage is that they limit imagination. Rubrics require particular task to be completed rather than students being created in their work.

Rating scales provide little information regarding behavior and skills, only showing when a behavior or skill happens but not what lead up to it. Rating scales may not capture all aspects of the child's behavior or skill.
