“…Despite these weaknesses, ELPKr has numerous potentials, which make it a useful instrument for clinical practice. Shepherd et al (1994) confirmed the validity of the scale for identifying developmental delays in preschool children. Its application is relatively easy, as it does not require a specific environment, equipment, or materials (Shepherd et al, 1994;Rocha & Silva, 2006).…”

“…Several studies have pointed out that, during the application of the ELPKr, some behaviors and actions were not presented by the children evaluated, which raised the question of the real capacity of these children (Harrison & Kielhofner, 1986;Shepherd et al, 1994;Restall & Magill-Evans, 1994;Rocha & Silva, 2006;Emblen, 2014;Grigolatto, 2006;Sposito, 2018). These authors questioned whether the children did not perform the tasks mentioned in the scale because they did not have the ability/capacity to do so, or if they just lacked interest or even thought about the possibility of performing exactly that action, since the assessment is only observational of free playing, allowing that the child performs a multitude of tasks, but not necessarily those evaluated in the instrument, leading to a false deficit result.…”

“…Its application is relatively easy, as it does not require a specific environment, equipment, or materials (Shepherd et al, 1994;Rocha & Silva, 2006). Studies have indicated the concurrent and construct validity of the scale (Bledsoe & Shepherd, 1982;Harrison & Kielhofner, 1986;Shepherd et al, 1994;Jankovich et al, 2008;Lee & Hinojosa, 2010).…”

Introduction Playing is intrinsically related to child development. Through play assessment, health professionals, including occupational therapists, can obtain information about child development. The Knox Preschool Play Scale - revised (KPPS-r) is a standardized instrument that enables the effective assessment of the skills existing in preschoolers’ play behavior. Objective To examine the national and international scientific production on the KPPS-r. Method This is a scoping review of the literature utilizing the following research databases: Scopus, Lilacs, BDENF, Embase, Cochrane, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Dedalus, BDTD, and PROQUEST; also Scielo, Google Scholar, and Capes Articles Website. The search strategy included the descriptors “Escala Lúdica Pré-escolar de Knox” OR “Knox Preschool Play Scale”. Results 51 studies published between 1983 and 2019 involving 1816 children were identified. The associated use of over 36 assessment instruments was identified, enabling knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the scale. The KPPSr is a valuable and reliable instrument both in clinical practice and in research. However, the lack of a manual or guidelines for its application is a weakness of this instrument. Conclusion This scoping review qualitatively analyzed the national and international literature addressing the KPPS, identifying gaps in scientific production and generating a broad panorama of data on the use, dissemination, and availability of this instrument, in addition to presenting an outline of the studies, their methodologies, and objectives.

BackgroundThe FOCUS© is a new outcome tool for use by both parents and clinicians that measures changes in the communicative participation skills of preschool children. Changes in communicative participation skills as measured by the FOCUS were compared across three groups of children: those with speech impairments only (SI), those with language impairments only (LI) and those with both speech and language impairments (S/LI).MethodsParticipating families (n = 112, 75 male children) were recruited through 13 Canadian organizations. Children ranged from 10 months to 6 years 0 months (mean = 2.11 years; SD = 1.18 years) and attended speech-language intervention. Parents completed the FOCUS at the start and end of treatment. There were 23 children in the SI group, 62 children in the LI group and 27 children in the S/LI group. The average amount of the children's therapy varied from 7 to 10 h.ResultsThe FOCUS captures changes in communicative participation for children with a range of communication disorder types and severities. All three groups of children made clinically important improvements according to their FOCUS scores (MCID ≥ 16 points). The FOCUS captured improvements in intelligibility, independent communication, play and socialization.ConclusionsThe FOCUS measured positive changes in communicative participation skills for all three groups of children after 7–10 h of speech-language therapy. An outcome measure that targets only specific speech and language skills would miss many of the important social function changes associated with speech-language treatment.

“…Diversos estudos apontaram que, durante a aplicação da ELPKr, alguns comportamentos e ações não foram apresentados pelas crianças avaliadas, o que levantou o questionamento acerca da real capacidade dessas crianças (Harrison & Kielhofner, 1986;Shepherd et al, 1994;Restall & Magill-Evans, 1994;Rocha & Silva, 2006;Emblen, 2014;Grigolatto, 2006;Sposito, 2018). Esses autores questionaram se as crianças não desempenharam as tarefas citadas na escala por não possuírem habilidade/capacidade para tanto ou se apenas faltou interesse ou mesmo pensarem na possibilidade de executar exatamente aquela ação, uma vez que a avaliação é apenas observacional do brincar livre, permitindo que a criança desempenhe uma infinidade de tarefas, mas não necessariamente as avaliadas no instrumento, levando a um falso resultado deficitário.…”

Resumo Introdução O brincar é intrinsecamente relacionado ao desenvolvimento infantil. Através da avaliação do brincar, profissionais de saúde, incluindo terapeutas ocupacionais, podem obter informações sobre o desenvolvimento global da criança. A Escala Lúdica Pré-escolar de Knox – revisada (ELPKr) é um instrumento padronizado capaz de avaliar eficazmente as habilidades presentes no brincar de pré-escolares. Objetivo Examinar a produção científica nacional e internacional sobre a utilização da ELPKr. Método Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo da literatura, utilizando as seguintes bases de dados para busca: Scopus, Lilacs, BDENF, Embase, Cochrane, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Dedalus, BDTD, PROQUEST, além de Scielo, Google Scholar e Portal Capes de Periódicos. A estratégia de busca incluiu os descritores “Escala Lúdica Pré-escolar de Knox” OR “Knox Preschool Play Scale”. Resultados Foram identificados 51 estudos publicados entre 1983 e 2019, envolvendo 1.816 crianças. Além disso, foi constatado uso associado de mais 36 instrumentos de avaliação, sendo possível indicar potencialidades e fragilidades da escala. A ELPKr é um instrumento útil e confiável tanto na prática clínica como na pesquisa. No entanto, a não existência de um manual ou orientações sobre sua forma de aplicação foi indicada como uma fragilidade do instrumento. Conclusão Esta revisão de escopo analisou qualitativamente a literatura nacional e estrangeira a respeito da ELPK, identificando lacunas nas produções científicas e gerando um amplo panorama de dados sobre a utilização, difusão e disponibilidade desse instrumento, além de apresentar um delineamento dos estudos, suas metodologias e objetivos.
