Zusammenfassung:The current study tried to investigate the agreement between parent report and clinical observation on three types of play behaviour in 12 children with ASD. The clinician observed 10 minute long free play session and coded for exploratory, functional and symbolic play. The parent's rating on three questions addressing the play behaviours were elicited. Percentage of agreement between the clinician observation and frequency rating of parents were calculated. The results suggested that the agreement across two types of measurement systems as to the presence of play behaviour on parent report and direct observation was greater than 75% for exploratory and functional play. But the agreement at the molecular level for this play behaviour was considerably poorer. Keywords: Children With ASD, play Behaviour, free play, autism spectrum disorders, ELAN, agreement
