Investigating the construct validity of children's assessments used by health care and education professionals

Description 
Occupational therapists, other health care professionals and education staff often assess the skills and abilities of children presenting with suspected problems. It is imperative that the standardised tests, scales and measures used by health care professionals are valid and reliable. Investigations of existing standardised assessments will make valuable contributions to the body of psychometric knowledge about those tests, measures and scales.
