AB  - The purpose of the study was to develop and validate a Spanish language form of 
      the Adjustment Scales for Preschool Intervention (ASPI) for use by early 
      childhood teachers. A multi-step, mixed method adaptation and translation process 
      of the English form was used to increase the cultural relevance, linguistic 
      comparability, and metric equivalence of the measure in its Spanish language 
      form. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in a diverse sample of 
      preschool children from low-income families (N = 4077) revealed two higher order 
      behavioral dimensions of Overactivity and Underactivity. ASPI dimension scores 
      across Spanish and English language forms were horizontally equated through IRT. 
      Criterion-related validity using multilevel models was established through 
      concurrent associations with social, emotional, behavioral, and academic 
      readiness skills. Policy and practice applications, and future directions for the 
      use of scale scores are discussed.
