Abstract
Background
Early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders allows to start a therapy tailored to the child - the earlier it happens, the better the results. This study marked a preliminary attempt to prepare culturally and linguistically adapted Polish version of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales-Developmental Profile – Infant-Toddler Checklist (CSBS-DP ITC).
Method
The study was conducted among 1471 Polish parents of children from the general population aged 6 to 24 months, 490 of them participated in the follow-up. An additional 122 pairs of parents completed the questionnaire to determine reliability using the inter-rater method. The collected data were statistically processed to calculate the reliability and validity of the Polish version of the CSBS-DP ITC questionnaire.
Results
The results indicated a very good fit of the one-factor and three-factor models in confirmatory factor analysis. Both one-factor and three-factor model showed satisfactory fit in both sex subsamples. The total score of CSBS-DP ITC demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, Cronbach's α = .92 and McDonald’s ω = .92. In test-retest all the correlation coefficients between the first and second measurements were above.70, proving a satisfactory level of stability.
Conclusions
The Polish version of the CSBS-DP-ITC is a reliable tool for the early screening of autism spectrum disorder, but further studies on sensitivity and specificity are essential.
期刊介绍：
Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders (RASD) publishes high quality empirical articles and reviews that contribute to a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at all levels of description; genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral. The primary focus of the journal is to bridge the gap between basic research at these levels, and the practical questions and difficulties that are faced by individuals with ASD and their families, as well as carers, educators and clinicians. In addition, the journal encourages submissions on topics that remain under-researched in the field. We know shamefully little about the causes and consequences of the significant language and general intellectual impairments that characterize half of all individuals with ASD. We know even less about the challenges that women with ASD face and less still about the needs of individuals with ASD as they grow older. Medical and psychological co-morbidities and the complications they bring with them for the diagnosis and treatment of ASD represents another area of relatively little research. At RASD we are committed to promoting high-quality and rigorous research on all of these issues, and we look forward to receiving many excellent submissions.
