The American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR 2002) defines adaptive behavior as “the collection of conceptual, social, and practical skills that have been learned by people in order to function in everyday lives.” Adaptive behavior is best understood as the degree to which individuals are able to function and maintain themselves independently and meet cultural expectations for personal and social responsibility at various ages. As such, adaptive behavior involves the person’s physical skills, cognitive ability, affect, motivation, culture, socioeconomic status, family, and environment. Persons with autism spectrum disorders often demonstrate a discrepancy between intellectual potential and consistently displayed adaptive skills. Assessing adaptive behavior can include standardized adaptive behavior scales, observation, interview, or review of anecdotal records. Some commonly used ratings include the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition; Scales of Independent Behavior - Revised (SIB-R); Adaptive Behavior Assessment System - Second Edition (ABAS-II); and the Battelle Developmental Inventory, Second Edition (BDI-2).
