Young children with developmental disabilities (DD) exhibit a range of strengths and weaknesses in cognitive, language, and adaptive skills. Identifying individual patterns of abilities across these domains is important for informing interventions. This study examines how 129 toddlers with significant developmental delays and less than 10 spoken words perform across different developmental domains and assessment methods (i.e., caregiver report and clinician-administered tests). Children exhibited statistically and clinically meaningful strengths and weaknesses across developmental domains, which may have important implications for differential interventions. Caregiver-reported and clinician-rated measures of cognition, language and adaptive functioning were highly related. However, the relation between caregiver report and clinician ratings was weaker for a subgroup of children with relatively more limited expressive language compared to other children in the sample.

发育障碍儿童的认知、交流和适应性行为模式。

患有发育障碍 (DD) 的幼儿在认知、语言和适应技能方面表现出一系列优势和劣势。识别跨这些领域的个人能力模式对于告知干预措施很重要。本研究调查了 129 名发育迟缓且口语少于 10 个的幼儿在不同的发育领域和评估方法（即看护者报告和临床医生进行的测试）中的表现。儿童在各个发育领域表现出具有统计学意义和临床意义的优势和劣势，这可能对差异化干预产生重要影响。照料者报告的和临床医生评定的认知、语言和适应性功能的测量是高度相关的。然而，
