The purpose of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity of subtests on the Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language (CASL) by comparing them with the assessment of communication and social skills on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Vineland). The participants were 35 children and adolescents with higher functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who had received both the CASL and the Vineland. Results of the study suggest that the Pragmatic Judgment and Inferences subtests of the CASL appeared to document the difficulties that individuals with ASD had in adaptive use of language for communication.
本研究的目的是通过将口语综合评估(CASL)中的分测验与文兰适应行为量表(Vineland)上的沟通和社交技能评估进行比较,来调查这些分测验的同时效度。参与者是35名患有高功能自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的儿童和青少年,他们同时接受了CASL和Vineland测试。研究结果表明,CASL的语用判断和推理分测验似乎记录了ASD患者在适应性语言沟通使用方面所存在的困难。
