Product Description:

The psychometric properties of assessments must be established for specific populations. The Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment/ Preference for Activities of Children (CAPE/PAC) is a measure of recreational participation, however its psychometric properties have only been studied in a sample of children with physical disability. A cross-sectional study was therefore conducted to determine the appropriateness of drawing inference from this assessment for children with High Functioning Autism (HFA). The content validity and test-retest reliability (r>0.7) were both found to be adequate for this population. Reliability was further estimated as parents agreed with the majority of their children's self-rating on this assessment. The study also ascertained the feasibility of gathering recreational participation information from children with HFA, and found that adaptations to facilitate the self-completion of the tool should be made available.
