PROJECT PLAY STUDY
The purpose of the BOSCC is to provide a standardized and efficient method of measuring change in social and communicative behaviors in people with neurodevelopmental disorders over a relatively short period of time (minimum 8-12 weeks). This study aims to assess the BOSCC’s sensitivity for children who can speak in simple sentences (2-word phrases containing a verb) or who communicate in complex sentences.
