N2 - The aim of the current study was to explore the content validity of the Maternal Behavior for Preschoolers Q-set (MBPQS) for its application in caregivers of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), residing in Ecuador. With this purpose, a linguistic adaptation of the instrument was made to the Ecuadorian context, which was evaluated by three professionals in the areas of Psychology, Preschool Education and Linguistics. With the adapted MBPQS, 10 Ecuadorian caregivers built a prototypical profile of ideally sensitive caregivers of typical development preschoolers, and 10 expert professionals in autism developed a prototypical profile of ideally sensitive caregivers of children with ASD. The profiles constructed by the two groups were compared with each other and with the normative criterion of the instrument. The results show the validity of the MBPQS to assess the sensitivity of caregivers of children with ASD.
