The Texas Environmental Adaptation Measure (TEAM), a four-part instrument, is designed to assess children's adaptive behavior as it relates to their sociocultural and emotional environments. TEAM is intended to determine the eligibility of these children for special education classes and to provide information for individualizing their instruction. TEAM is comprised of four parts: (1) two measures of children's social-emotional environment; (2) one personality measure; and (3) one measure of children's adaptive behavior. TEAM is administered as a one-hour home interview. The social environment measures are composed of sociocultural history and family dynamics sections. Six areas are investigated in the adaptive behavior section: autonomous activities, mechanical skills, play and recreation, communication and social skills, responsibility, and economic activity. The Adaptive Behavior Assessment of TEAM has been standardized on a random sample of 545 students from Corpus Christi, Texas. The sample represents males and females; ages 5 through 16; three ethnic/racial groups; and high and low socioeconomic status. (MH)
