This cross sectional validation study evaluated the structural validity, internal reliability, and measurement invariance of PEDI-PRO, a cognitively accessible patient reported outcome measure for youth and young adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities. The PEDI-PRO assesses the functional performance of discrete tasks required to participate in everyday life situations important for adulthood

Learning Objectives:

Describe the structural validity,internal consistency (reliability), and differential item function of the PEDI-PRO daily activities, social/cognitive, and mobility domains with youth with developmental disabilities ages 14-22
Describe the cognitively accessible design of the computer administered PEDI-PRO and it's potential impact on psychometric quality
Understand how youth with developmental disabilities can use a three-point Likert response scale in the intended manner.
