The Conversation Compass© Communication Screener-Revised

This study examined the factor structure of an adapted version of the CCCS, the Conversation Compass© Communication Screener-Revised (CCCS-R). Factor analytic results indicated a four-factor structure that fits the data well. The study also investigated the CCCS-R’s convergent validity with the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals—Preschool (CELF-P) Descriptive Pragmatics Profiles subtest and predictive validity with the CELF-P Pre-Literacy Scale subtest. Results indicated the CCCS-R showed both convergent and predictive validity with those subscales. The CCCS-R aims to provide teachers, researchers, and clinicians with insights into preschoolers’ classroom conversation skills.
