Shogren, Karrie A.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Seo, Hyojeong; Thompson, James R.; Schalock, Robert L.; Hughes, Carolyn; Little, Todd D.; Palmer, Susan B. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2017
This study compared the reliability, validity, and measurement properties of the "Supports Intensity Scale-Children's Version" (SIS-C) in children with autism and intellectual disability (n = 2,124) and children with intellectual disability only (n = 1,861). The results suggest that SIS-C is a valid and reliable tool in both populations.…

Bauminger-Zviely, Nirit; Shefer, Analia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Peer interaction can be challenging in autism spectrum disorder, but naturalistic peer-observation scales for preschoolers are scarce. This study examined psychometric qualities of the newly developed Autism Peer Interaction Observation Scale. We tested the Autism Peer Interaction Observation Scale to (a) characterize peer interactions of…
