	Abstract

Recently, within the field of special education, attention has been accorded to the conceptualization and measurement of family outcomes. The Family Quality of Life (FQOL) Scale is an instrument that can be used to measure family outcomes for families who have children with disabilities, and it has been demonstrated to have psychometric validity. To expand the usability of the FQOL Scale, the authors tested its measurement properties for families of kindergarten children without disabilities. Results from this new population of interest indicated adequate fit of the sample data to the theoretical model. Policy and program implications are discussed.
