¿Puede el CCC-2 diferenciar perfiles pragmáticos?

Abstract

Objective: The current study aims to check the ability of the Spanish translation of the Children´s Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) to discriminate and identify pragmatic profiles. Method: A normative profile of the instrument was performed on a 100 Spanish-speaking sample. To determinate to what extend the Spanish translation of the CCC-2 is able to discriminate between children with a pragmatic language disorder and an expressive language disorder a comparison was made between 10 subjects with an Asperger syndrome and 10 subjects with Down syndrome versus a Control group. Results: The Spanish translation of the CCC-2 is able to identify pragmatic profiles and to discriminate between normative and clinic profiles as Asperger syndrome and Down syndrome. Furthermore, this instrument is able to obtain a quantitative profile picture of the communication impairments of those children.
