Abstract/Summary:
This study examined the test-retest reliability of the Evaluation of the Oral Function in Feeding-Revised II in children (EOFF-Revised II) using a one-group test-retest methodological design. A sample of 20 subjects aged 10-21 was randomly assigned to three occupational therapists at an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) in western New York. Data were analyzed by comparing the scores from test 1 and test 2 using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation coefficients. Results showed that 14 out of the 15 functions had a Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient of.80 or above. Therefore this study determined that the Evaluation of the Oral Function in Feeding-Revised II has good test-retest reliability.
