Predictive Validity of the Battelle Developmental Inventory as a Measure of Social-Behavioral Development for Young Children with Disabilities.

Merrell, Kenneth W.; Mauk, Gary W.

Diagnostique, v18 n3 p187-98 Spr 1993

The Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) was administered to 121 young children, and parents rated them with the Social Skills Rating System 2-3 years after entry into the study. Correlations between the two measures revealed very weak to modest relationships, providing limited support for the BDI as a predictive measure of future social-behavioral development. (Author/JDD)
