Author ProfileAbstract
This study investigated the potential influences of administration
context on the measurement of child skills over time. The BOSCC was
administered to preschool-aged children with autism at two time points
at school by trained research staff and at home by the parent. Children
showed improvements across all subscales and the total score over time.
The Social-communication and Core total scores yield similar information
in both contexts, but Restricted and Repetitive Behavior and Other
Abnormal Behavior subscales scores were not related. Further, subscale
and total scores are correlated between contexts at individual time
points but not over time. These results underscore the importance of
purposeful selection of measures and their administration context.12 Sep 2023Submitted to Infant and Child Development: prenatal, childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood 13 Sep 2023Submission Checks Completed
