Essentials of adaptive behavior assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders

Adaptive behaviour assessment measures independent living skills, including communication, social skills, personal care, and practical work skills.

For individuals with intellectual disabilities, evaluation of these skills is a critical tool for measuring eligibility and can identify specific skills that must be learned before effective educational interventions can be implemented.

This title describes the role of adaptive behaviour in assessment and treatment, and provides clear guidance for measurement.

Case samples provide real-world illustration of behaviours and assessment, and systematic comparison of various measures are presented and explained to better inform planning.
