This pilot study investigates the development and validation of the Arabic Children’s Strong Communication Scale (ACSCS), adapted from the Children’s Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) for Arabic-speaking children. Aiming to address the lack of culturally tailored communication assessment tools, the ACSCS evaluates communication strengths across language proficiency, social communication, and behavioral aspects. The study involved 102 participants, including relatives, teachers, and speech therapists of children aged 4–16, who assessed the children’s communication skills using a 22-item scale developed on a theoretical framework emphasizing strengths in specific language aspects, social communication, and adaptive behaviors.
Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory composite analysis (CCA), the ACSCS showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha indicating reliability across its constructs. The ACSCS demonstrated strong convergent and discriminant validity, highlighting its ability to measure distinct facets of communication strengths accurately. The findings support the ACSCS as a reliable and culturally sensitive tool for assessing communication abilities in Arabic-speaking children, with implications for educational and clinical settings, providing practitioners with a valuable resource for early communication development interventions tailored to the linguistic and cultural context of Arabic-speaking communities.
