Test items were reviewed for content and cultural bias by a panel of speech language pathologists and education specialists with expertise in assessment of diverse populations.
Internal consistency reliability coefficients and an intercorrelation study with the English version demonstrate that the BBCS–3:R and BBCS:E reliably assess basic concepts. Evidence of validity based on test content and internal structure is presented.
