Adaptive Behavior: Teachers and Parents Disagree.
Mealor, David J.; Richmond, Bert O.
Exceptional Children, v46 n5 p386-89 Feb 1980
To examine the bias that may exist in reports of adaptive behaviors of retarded children, the perceptions of teachers and parents regarding the adaptive behavior of selected moderately or severely retarded children were compared. It was found that parents and teachers did not always agree on the child's level of adaptive behavior. (Author/DLS)
