title: The validity of the Child and Adolescent Intellectual Disability Screening Questionnaire (CAIDS-Q) with children aged 6-7 years, 11 months: a brief report.
abstract: We examined the performance of the Child and Adolescent Intellectual Disability Screening Questionnaire with 103 young children aged 6-7 years, 11 months referred to mental health services. Sensitivity and specificity were both over 80% and convergent validity with IQ scores was found, suggesting it could be useful for screening with this age group.
