Translation and content validity of the Arabic Communication and Symbolic Behaviour Scales Developmental Profile (CSBS DP) Infant–Toddler Checklist
The CSBS DP ITC was effectively translated and content validated into Modern Standard Arabic. The calculated CVI values ranged from excellent to acceptable. This step establishes a foundation before proceeding to full psychometric testing of the instrument, paving the way for a reliable and culturally appropriate tool to identify early communication delays for use across the Arab-speaking population.
