Abstract

This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC). Inter-rater reliability was high and BOSCC scores correlated with autism symptoms and lower IQ. Implications for the BOSCC validity and for its use in individuals with varying levels of intellectual impairment are discussed.
