CCC-2: Children’s Communication Checklist Checklists (pkg/25)

The Children’s Communication Checklist – Second Edition (CCC-2) is an instrument designed for the assessment of pragmatic language skills and general communication development in children aged 4 to 16 years. It helps identify children with potential language impairments or pragmatic deficits and can assist in screening for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates early screening and communication profiling and allows them to determine the need for further diagnostic assessment and guide targeted intervention planning.

Benefits:

• Early Screening Tool: Identify children likely to have clinically significant language or communication difficulties

• Pragmatic Language Insight: Detect impairments in social communication and contextually inappropriate language use

• ASD Profiling Support: Aids in identifying children who may need further autism-specific assessment

• Efficient and Easy to Administer: Quickly completed in 5–15 minutes per child

Key Features:

• 10 Communication Scales: Measures speech, syntax, semantics, coherence, context use, social relations, and more

• Two Key Composite Scores: General Communication Composite (GCC) and Social Interaction Deviance Composite (SIDC)

• Standard Scores & Percentiles: Results are norm-referenced for reliable interpretation

• Updated Versions Available: Includes Communication Checklist – Adult and Self-Report versions for extended applications

Structure and Scoring:
The CCC-2 consists of 10 subscales, each scored and interpreted to generate standard scores and percentiles. Two derived composite scores (GCC and SIDC) are used to evaluate overall communication ability and social-pragmatic deviation patterns. Scoring is straightforward and enables quick clinical insight into a child’s communication strengths and difficulties.

Applications:
The CCC-2 is useful in schools, clinics, and research settings for screening children with suspected language or pragmatic issues. It is particularly valuable for identifying communication profiles suggestive of autism spectrum disorder and determining which children may require more in-depth assessment.
