Focus on the Outcomes of Communication under Six: Validation of Language Skills in the Jamaican Context
Kokotek, Leslie E.; Washington, Karla N.; Cunningham, Barbara Jane; Wright Karem, Rachel; Fletcher, Brittany
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v44 n1 p3-13 Nov 2022
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.
