Abstract
Design: Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to determine magnitude of correlation between frequency and severity ratings for each item on the NCBRF. Next, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales II (VABS) raw domain scores were used to examine concurrent validity of NCBRF. Specifically, partial correlation coefficients between the frequency or the severity ratings of each NCBRF item, and normalized raw scores of each VABS domain were calculated with participant age as a co-variant. A t-test was used to test for statistically significant differences. Allocation: The study did not involve group allocation. Each participant’s caregiver completed the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF) and the VABS.
期刊介绍：
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
