Relationship between Measures of Adaptive Functioning and Community Adjustment for Adults with Mental Retardation.
McGrew, Kevin S.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v58 n6 p517-29 May 1992
This study found significant relationships between measures of adaptive/maladaptive behavior and community adjustment in 239 adults with mild to severe mental retardation. Results provide evidence for the criterion-related validity of measures of adaptive/maladaptive behavior, and suggest the importance of such skills in community adaptation and thus program planning for this population.
