Parent-Teacher Agreement on the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) for Ethnically Diverse Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Parent and teacher agreement for ethnically diverse preschoolers with ASD (N=265) on the DECA was modest, from r=.16 (self-control) to .36 (initiative). Parents rated children as showing better social skills and behavior than teachers. Agreement was often stronger for Latino compared to Black and White/other students.
