Abstract

The Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS) is one of a few validated outcome measures related to children's communicative participation. Additional validation of the FOCUS measure could address the paucity of validated outcomes-based measures available for assessing preschool-age children, particularly for those who are multilingual. The data collected for this study, with a representative sample of Jamaican Creole-English speaking children, extend the applicability of the FOCUS to a broader range of preschoolers and expand psychometric evidence for the FOCUS to a multilingual and understudied context.

关注六岁以下儿童沟通的结果：牙买加语境中语言技能的验证

关注六岁以下儿童沟通的结果（Focus）是少数几个与儿童沟通参与相关的有效结果测量之一。FOCUS措施的进一步验证可以解决缺乏可用于评估学龄前儿童，特别是多语言儿童的基于结果的有效措施的问题。本研究收集的数据，包括牙买加克里奥尔语英语儿童的代表性样本，将FOCUS的适用性扩展到更广泛的学龄前儿童，并将FOCUS的心理测量证据扩展到多语言和研究不足的环境中。

期刊介绍： Articles for Communication Disorders Quarterly (CDQ) are accepted for review on a continual basis. The editor of CDQ welcomes submissions of previously unpublished applied and clinical research relating to typical and atypical communication across the lifespan. This includes assessment of and interventions for communicative disorders in infants, toddlers, young children, school-age children, youth, and adults. The readers of CDQ represent a breadth of viewpoints and professional interests, which is also reflected in the diversity of interests and expertise of the editorial board members. The journal is particularly of interest to speech–language pathologists and teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing. CDQ uses a masked peer review process for submissions.
