Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop a tablet-based social assessment to evaluate the socialdevelopment level of children with developmental disabilities (DD) and to study the pilot validity of each developeditem.
Methods: Constructed concepts related to social development for children with DD were established through aliterature review. To establish the content validity, an expert panel was formed, and a Delphi survey wasconducted. The digital assessment was developed through the process of designing an avatar and the logic of therunning, development, and usability evaluation of the application. To verify the validity of the developed evaluation,the concurrent and discriminant validity were investigated. To verify the concurrent validity, the Korean versionof the Social Communication Questionnaire (K-SCQ) and the Social Maturity Test (SMS) were conducted, and thecorrelation with the tablet-based social assessment was analyzed. To examine the discriminant validity, aMann-Whitney analysis was conducted for 32 children with typical development (TD) and 16 children with DD.
Results: The study results consisted of eight items in three major categories. Detailed items include followinginstructions, imitation, joint attention, pre-symbolic behavior, symbolic behavior, understanding rules, emotionperception, and perspective taking. As a result of a Delphi survey on the construct concept and task relevance ofeach item, the CVR of all items ranged from .8 to 1. The test scores between children with TD and DD were foundto be significantly different in all items of tablet-based social assessment (-5.1, p = .000). In addition, it wasfound that there was a correlation between the K-SCQ and SMS scores and the tablet-based social assessmentscore (-.69, .57, p < .01).
Conclusion: In this study, a tablet-based social assessment was developed, and the items and composition of theassessment were found to be valid. It is expected that the assessment developed in this study will help examinethe level of social development for children with DD in clinical practice and the education field.
