摘要:The second version of the Schedule of Growing Skills (SGS-II) was standardized using a sample of 348 UK children, ages 0 to 5 years. It examined ten psychomotor development areas in 14 age ranges. The Portuguese version of SGS-II was published in 2003, re-edited in 2011, and re-published in 2012, but its psychometric properties remained untested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of SGS-II, comparing them with the results of the UK version. A sample of 364 Portuguese children, 193 boys and 172 girls, with an average age of 34.45 months (±18.62) was assessed with the SGS-II. The results have shown suitable psychometric properties of the SGS-II Portuguese version, adequate for the screening of children development. The internal consistency coefficients ranged from adequate to excellent (≥.7) and similar correlation results among the scale’s versions (English and Portuguese) were positive, high, and significant.
