This study examined the stability of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K‐ABC) for a sample of at‐risk preschool children. Over a 9‐month time interval, the stability coefficients (corrected for restriction in range) for the global scales of the K‐ABC ranged from .78 to .88. The stability coefficients (corrected for restriction in range) for the K‐ABC subtests ranged from .65 to .79. It was concluded that scores on the K‐ABC for at‐risk preschool children display adequate stability, but that the Simultaneous scale appears to be more amenable to change than either the Sequential or Achievement scales.
