AB  - This study examines the criterion-related validity and clinimetric properties of 
      the Assessment of Preschool Children's Participation (APCP) for children with 
      cerebral palsy (CP). Eighty-two children with CP (age range, two to five years 
      and 11 months) and their caregivers participated in this study. The APCP consists 
      of diversity and intensity scores in the areas of play (PA), skill development 
      (SD), active physical recreation (AP), social activities (SA), and total areas. 
      Tests were administered at baseline and at six-month follow-up. Concurrent and 
      predictive validities were identified by assessing the strength of correlations 
      between APCP scores and criterion-related measures--the 66-item Gross Motor 
      Function Measure (GMFM-66) and Functional Independence Measure for Children 
      (WeeFIM). Responsiveness was measured by standardized response mean (SRM). 
      Minimal detectable change (MDC) at the 95% confidence level (MDC95) and minimal 
      clinically important difference (MCID) were analyzed. The APCP with GMFM-66 and 
      WeeFIM had fair to excellent concurrent validity (r=0.39-0.85) and predictive 
      validity (r=0.46-0.82). The SRM values of the APCP diversity and intensity scales 
      in all areas were 0.8-1.3. The MDC95 and MCID ranges for all areas (i.e., PA, SD, 
      AP, SA, and total areas) were 0.1-0.7 and 0.4-1.2 points for intensity scores, 
      respectively, and 4-17% and 10-19% for diversity scores, respectively. Therefore, 
      the APCP scale was markedly responsive to change. Clinicians and researchers can 
      use these clinimetric APCP data to determine whether a change score represents a 
      "true" or clinically meaningful effect at post-treatment and follow-up.
