Szenario-Kids

Abstract

Ein partizipationsorientierter Test für Kinder mit Aphasie zwischen 8 und 15 Jahren Szenario-KidsA Participation-based Test for 8-to 15-year-old Children with Aphasia Einleitung ▼ Aphasie im Kindes-und Jugendalter Bei einer Aphasie im Kindes-und Jugendalter handelt es sich, ebenso wie bei Erwachsenen, um eine erworbene Sprachstörung. Mit 80 % bildet das Schädel-Hirn-Trauma bei Kindern und Jugendlichen die Hauptursache für eine Aphasie [1]. Schätzungen des Bundesverbandes für die Rehabilitation der Aphasiker e.V. zufolge erkranLernziel Mit dem Szenario-Kids wird ein in der Entwicklung befindliches Diagnostikinstrument zur Überprüfung von multimodalen Kommunikationsfähigkeiten bei 8-bis 15-jährigen Kindern mit Aphasie vorgestellt. Der Bedarf eines solchen Testverfahrens wird ebenso wie der Nutzen für den klinischen Alltag dargestellt.

The Szenario-Kids: Psychometric properties of a novel, participation-oriented language assessment as determined in children and youth without communication deficits

“…Szenario-Kids is a participation-based diagnostic instrument developed by Plum et al (2015Plum et al ( , 2016 for children and youth with acquired aphasia and (D)LD. The study presented here examines psychometric properties derived from a medium-size sample of n = 57 children and youth without communication deficits aged 6 to 16 years.…”

“…The participation-based diagnostic instrument Szenario-Kids is an interactive diagnostic instrument and was developed by Plum et al (2015Plum et al ( , 2016 to measure multimodal communication in children and youth with (D)LD. Two test versions A and B were developed to avoid practice effects when using the test repeatedly.…”

“…The therapist acts as a helpful communication partner to transmit the information. A pilot evaluation of the Szenario-Kids was conducted by the test authors with 22 children without communication deficits and 4 children and youth with acquired aphasia (Plum et al, 2015(Plum et al, , 2016. It showed good feasibility of both test versions with satisfying test-retest-correlation.…”

“…Scoring of items with one versus two propositions slightly differs because higher difficulty of the latter is taken into consideration. For details about scoring it is recommended to use the manual of the German Szenario-Test for adults (Nobis-Bosch et al, 2020), which provided the basis for Plum et al (2015Plum et al ( , 2016 in developing the Szenario-Kids. Because there are 18 items in total, the maximum score for the whole test is 54.…”

“…In order to close this scientific and clinical gap, the participation-based diagnostic instrument Szenario-Kids initially was developed for 8-to 15-year old children and youth with acquired aphasia by Plum et al (2015Plum et al ( , 2016. Strongly influenced by the Dutch Scenario Test for adults with aphasia (van der Meulen et al, 2010), but adapted by using new material, this novel diagnostic instrument measures multimodal communication abilities and is geared towards everyday life situations.…”
