Miller Function and Participation Scales: The study of validity and reliability for children aged 48-95 months
Keywords:
Motor Development, Miller Function and Participation Scales, AssessmentAbstract
Early childhood is a critical period for development and proficiency of motor skills. Motor development of children should be assessed in order to understand the concept, and if necessary, plan ahead accordingly. In this study, a validity and reliability research was carried out for a Turkish translation of Miller Function and Participation Scales in an effort to assess motor development of children aged 48-95 months. The study group consists of a total of 262 children aged 48-95 months, including a group of children with delayed motor development. The study data were gathered with a personal information form created by the researcher, as well as with Miller Function and Participation Scales. Gazi Early Childhood Development Assessment Tool and Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception were used for determining concurrent validity. Within the scope of the validity study on Miller Function and Participation Scales, construct validity, its relationship with other variables, and clinical discriminant validity were demonstrated. In the reliability study, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and inter-rater correlation coefficients were calculated. Considering the results of the study, it was concluded that the Turkish version of Miller Function and Participation Scales is a valid and reliable assessment tool for children aged 48-95 months.References
