The purpose of this study is to provide content validity evidence for the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP). A national panel of 13 experts provided an evaluation of the domain relevance, age appropriateness, method of measurement appropriateness, and domain representation across the three levels of the Milestones Assessment, Early Echoic Skills Assessment (EESA), and Barriers Assessment. Overall, the content validity evidence for the VB-MAPP Milestones, EESA, and Barriers Assessment was moderate to strong across the evaluated areas although there were areas with limited or conflicting support. The evidence suggests that the scores of the VB-MAPP provide information relevant to the target behaviors of interest but a few domains may not be fully represented by their specific items.
本研究旨在为语言行为里程碑评估和安置计划（VB-MAPP）提供内容效度证据。一个由 13 名专家组成的全国小组对里程碑评估、早期回声技能评估（EESA）和障碍评估的三个层次的领域相关性、年龄适宜性、测量方法适宜性以及领域代表性进行了评估。总体而言，VB-MAPP 里程碑、EESA 和障碍评估的内容效度证据在评估领域为中等至强，尽管有些领域的支持有限或存在冲突。证据表明，VB-MAPP 的分数提供了与目标行为相关的信息，但有些领域可能没有被其特定项目完全代表。
