[Intelligence assessment using the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children: a pilot study of a sample of children with language development disorders].
The German version of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, which will soon be available commercially, was administered to 29 children with developmental speech and language disorders between 7;4 and 11;11 years of age who were patients on an inpatient child psychiatry unit. The correlations of the test results with the WISC-R (German version), the AID (a German intelligence test) and the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices were calculated; furthermore, an assessment was made for differences in performance on tasks requiring sequential processing and those requiring simultaneous processing. The results of the study indicate that the K-ABC enables a relatively broad-based assessment of cognitive development in speech-and language-disordered children despite the children's verbal handicaps and that the instrument yields information of relevance in planning remedial programs.
