Background:

The original Computerized Adaptive Test for Measuring Children's Self-care Performance (CAT-SC) utilized an interview approach, limiting its applicability.
A need existed for a more accessible and broadly applicable self-care assessment tool for children.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate the CAT-SC-T, a caregiver-report version of the CAT-SC.
To adapt the CAT-SC for use with both typically developing children and those with disabilities.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional study involving 1289 caregivers of children with and without disabilities.
Utilized the original CAT-SC item bank to develop the CAT-SC-T with a caregiver-report format.
Employed simulation analyses to determine optimal item administration and stopping rules.

Main Results:

The CAT-SC-T item bank comprises 69 unidimensional items.
Optimal assessment involves 10-16 items, achieving high reliability (person reliability >0.95 for 83.9% of children).
Demonstrated excellent concurrent validity (r=0.99) and good discriminant validity between children with and without disabilities.

Conclusions:

The CAT-SC-T is an efficient, reliable, and valid measure of children's self-care performance.
The CAT-SC-T is suitable for assessing self-care in a diverse pediatric population, including children with disabilities.
This caregiver-report tool enhances the accessibility and utility of the CAT-SC.
