Abstract
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the
Thai version of the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (Thai-ATEC); a tool
which has been developed for Thai parents and caregivers who have children
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Methods: Approval for this study was first obtained from the appropriate Ethics
committee and from the original Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC)
developers. This was a two-phase study. Phase 1 consisted of the
forward–backward translation of the ATEC and phase 2 included the testing of
psychometric properties, i.e. the validity and reliability of the final draft of the
tool. The validity of the tool was assessed by comparing Thai-ATEC scores of
parents and caregivers of 160 children with ASD with the assessment of a child
and adolescent psychiatrist using DSM-V criteria on the same group of
children. The inter-rater reliability of the tool was tested using a two-way model
of intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for two-parent/caregivers’
assessment of 50 children with ASD.
Results: The validity of the Thai-ATEC was moderate to high. A cut-off point of
≤38 scores was used to distinguish between children with ASD with mild
symptoms and the rest of the children (sensitivity = 94%, specificity= 61.9%,
and the area under ROC curve = 90%). A cut-off point of ≥68 scores was used
to distinguish between children with ASD with a severe degree of symptoms
and the rest (sensitivity = 94%, specificity = 62.8%, area under receiver
operating characteristic curve = 85%). The inter-rater reliability was very strong
(ICC = 0.97).
Conclusions: The Thai-ATEC has moderate to high validity and high reliability |
