Conclusion
There is a strong need within the field of autism research for measurement tools that can be used consistently across various studies (Bolte & Diehl, 2013). The complexity of measuring SC behaviors makes this an area of intense need as researchers require measures that are sensitive to the nuances of SC behaviors and able to detect subtle shifts in behaviors over time. Further, it is important to consider the context of assessments; the measurement of outcomes should match the context in which behavioral changes are expected. This study underscores the importance of considering the context (i.e., both the administrator and the setting) in measuring behavior changes.
