Classification of the Hearing Impaired for Independent Living Using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale.

Dunlap, William R.; Sands, Deanna Iceman

American Annals of the Deaf, v135 n5 p384-88 Dec 1990

The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale was used to classify 118 hearing-impaired persons (88 percent were ages 16-21) into groups based on their ability to be trained in independent living skills. Using cluster analysis, the subjects were placed into three groups according to four domains: communication, daily living, socialization, and maladaptive behavior. (Author/JDD)
