The CCC-2 is the latest version of a checklist that has been in development for 10 years. The 70-item questionnaire completed by a caregiver screens for communication problems in children aged 4 to 16 years. It can be hand or electronically scored.

Use the CCC-2 to:

• 
  Screen for children who are likely to have language impairment


• 
  Identify pragmatic impairment in children with communication problems


• 
  Assist in identifying children who may merit from further assessment for an autistic spectrum disorder

Standard scores and percentiles are provided for each of the following 10 scales:

• 
  A. speech


• 
  B. syntax


• 
  C. semantic


• 
  D. coherence


• 
  E. inappropriate initiation


• 
  F. stereotyped language


• 
  G. use of context


• 
  H. nonverbal communication


• 
  I. social relations


• 
  J. interests

Two composites are derived:

• 
  The General Communication Composite (GCC) is used to identify children likely to have clinically significant communication problems

• 
  The Social Interaction Deviance Composite (SIDC) can assist in identifying children with a communicative profile characteristic of autism
