Normative Data

Normative Data

The internal consistency reliability coefficients of the domain and composite scores were all above .90 for all age and disability groups. A study of the diagnostic accuracy, a highly rigorous validity technique, is reported with regards to sensitivity (.85), specificity (.99), classification accuracy (.98), and receiver operating characteristic/area under the curve (.99).

Norms for the ABDS are based on a nationally representative sample of 1,061 children and adolescents who reside in the U.S.
