Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Vineland-II)

 The Vineland-II is the leading measure of personal and social skills needed for everyday living. Psychologists and other professionals continue to depend on it to identify individuals who have learning difficulties, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders and other impairments.

This flexible edition features:

* Expanded age range encompasses birth to age 90 (Survey Interview, Expanded Interview, Parent/Caregiver Rating Form) and 3 to 21-11 (Teacher Rating Form)
* Updated content reflects tasks and daily living skills that are attuned to current societal expectations
* Increased coverage of early childhood adaptive behaviour improves classification of moderate to profound learning difficulties
* More complete coverage of adult adaptive behaviour improves detection of decline in older adults
* Semistructured interview format now lists items by subdomain, making test administration easier
* Parent/Caregiver Rating Form gives you another choice, a simple rating scale, for obtaining the basic information you receive from the semistructured interview

Covers the full spectrum of adaptive behaviour

All Vineland-II forms aid in diagnosing and classifying learning difficulties and other disorders, such as autism, Asperger Syndrome and developmental delays.

The content and scales of Vineland-II were organised within a three domain structure: Communication, Daily Living, and Socialisation.

In addition, Vineland-II offers a Motor Skills Domain and an optional Maladaptive Behaviour Index to provide more in-depth information about your clients.
