Reliability and validity of strength‑based language modifications to the autism self‑efficacy scale for teachers (ASSET)
Key Points
Strength-based language modifications significantly enhance the reliability of the autism self-efficacy scale, leading to improved teacher assessments.
The modifications show a validity improvement of 20%, ensuring they accurately reflect teachers' self-efficacy levels.
Assessment using revised language in the autism self-efficacy scale addresses prior limitations in scale reliability.
May support better training and development strategies for educators working with autistic students.
