Social-communicative items in the ESAT, including 'shows interest in people'smilesles directly' and 'reacts when spoken to' also discriminated best between children with and without ASD [ 43].
As no major differences in fit indices were observed when FCCHL14 was included in the communicative dimension, this item was left in the critical dimension to be more consistent with the original version.
The dimension Language Development was correlated with the behavioral dimension Communicative Intent, which covers items of more nonverbal-related behaviors, and with Explorative Behavior.
The ASQ-SE measures a broader range of social emotional skills than the FOCUS; however, the FOCUS items measure communicative interactions in social contexts as well as changes in frustration, behaviour, and confidence.
This parent-completed checklist contains seven items assessing early communicative behavior, such as protoimperative actions (e.g. looking or pointing at an item to request it), the following of simple commands (e.g. 'come here'sitsit down'), and the use of two- or three-word strings (e.g. 'go, car', 'shut door').
The final result was a 30-item questionnaire covering communicative microskills, clinical interaction, patient-centred style, the provision of information and the breaking of bad news.
The 'Communication Strategies' domain of the Dutch 35-item version of CPHI will be used to measure Communication (coping behavior in communicative situations) and consists of three subscales: 'Maladaptive Behavior'; 'Verbal Strategies' and 'Non-verbal Strategies' [ 68].
The SBS represents a 21-item rating scale comprising communicative skills, socially inappropriate behaviours, autistic symptoms (muttering, laughing to self), affective symptoms (anxiety, restlessness, depression), and movement disorders (bizarre behaviour, mannerisms, posturing).
It consists of five subscales (Lesson Design and Implementation; Content: Propositional Pedagogic Knowledge; Content: Procedural Pedagogic Knowledge; Classroom Culture: Communicative Interactions; and Classroom Culture: Student/Teacher Relationships), containing five items each for a total of 25 items.
Five, five, and four items were used to assess functional, communicative, and critical HL, respectively [ 25].
Parents of 4,237 children completed questionnaires with 62 items about externalizing, internalizing, and social-communicative behaviour when the children were 14 15 and 36 37 months old.
