ABSTRACT
Objective. The objective of this work was to validate the Spanish
version of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community in a sample
of Mexican children with autism spectrum disorder.
Methods. The translation of the original instrument was made in
English into Spanish. The clarity of the questions was validated using
the Likert scale from an initial sample of 12 people. Subsequently, the
test was applied to the mother, therapist and teacher of a total sample
of 7 patients aged between 5 and 9 years with a diagnosis of Autism
Spectrum Disorder, obtaining 3 tests per patient with a total of 21
surveys. As a statistical tool to validate the instrument, Cronbach’s
alpha was used.
Results. When evaluating the clarity, none of the items and
instructions were below 80, so it was concluded that the clarity of
the writing of the whole scale was good to excellent. The statistical
analysis for the validation of the scale showed a global Cronbach
alpha of 0.98, considering it an excellent validity.
Conclusions. The results indicate that the translation of the
Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community has the validity and
reliability to be used as a tool to assess the efficacy of interventions in
patients with autism spectrum disorder. The tool is easy to apply and
no special training is required to answer.
