Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The Developmental Behaviour Checklist (DBC) is a 96-item instrument designed for assessing behavioural and emotional problems among young people with intellectual disability.

METHODS:

The present study investigated the validity of the DBC as a measure of change. Changes in individual's DBC scores were correlated with changes in expert clinicians' ratings of the same subjects.

RESULTS:

A high correlation was found between expert clinician ratings of change in behaviour and change in the total behaviour problem score of the DBC.

CONCLUSIONS:

The DBC is able to measure changes in behaviour and emotions which are recognized by an experienced clinician who is following the progress of a child with ID.
