Identification of Psychometric Characteristics of Sample of Vocal Behaviour and Interaction Assessment Record Forms
Abstract
The purpose of this
research is to study the Sample of Vocal Behaviour Record Form (SVBRF),
included in the third edition of Autism Screening Instrument for Educational
Planning-3 (ASIEP-3), and the psychometric properties of the trucked forms for
the informal assessment tools of Autism Screening Instrument for Educational
Planning-3 (ASIEP-3). The rationale for the research is the lack of
standardised informal assessment tools to use for the educational assessment of
children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Turkey. The study group
consists of students, who receive education at three private institutions for
special education and rehabilitation. A total of 169 students were included in
the study group of the Turkish Version of the SVBRF, 54 females and 115 males.
And in the study group of the Turkish Version of the IARF, a total of 115
students were included, 37 females and 78 males. The data, which were obtained
from the study requiring data collection based on performance feedback, were
analysed in order to assess the validity and reliability of the tools. The
findings from the analysis revealed that both tools were valid and reliable to
be used for obtaining the samples of vocal behaviour of children with ASD, and
evaluating their level of social interaction.
