Abstract The concurrent validity of the Diagnostic Inventory for Screeening Children (DISC) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Survey Form was investigated in a sample of 26 preschoolers (mean age = 56.96 months, SD=5.61; 15 male, 11 female) in a rehabilitation day treatment setting. Parent and teacher report on the Vineland was comparable. Pearson correlations between the DISC and Vineland yielded an expected pattern with significant correlation between parallel scales (p<.01). Repeated measures ANOVAs comparing age equivalents for five similar DISC and Vineland scales indicated no significant differences (p>.01). The results support the concurrent validity of the DISC. download article >>
