A Comparison of Methods of Assessing Adaptive Behaviour in Pre-school Children with Developmental Disabilities.

Roberts, Clare; And Others

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v18 n4 p261-72 1993

Preschool children (n=128) at risk for development of a developmental disability were assessed using the Scales of Independent Behavior and the revised Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Survey Form. The summary scores of both tests were found to correlate moderately with IQ and with the extent of integration children achieved in their subsequent school placement. (Author/JDD)
