Validity of Self-Report of Adaptive Behavior Skills by Adults with Mental Retardation.
Voelker, Sylvia L.; And Others
Mental Retardation, v28 n5 p305-09 Oct 1990
Forty-eight adults with mental retardation assessed their daily living competency using the revised Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Compared to subject and counselor interviews and demonstrated competency, the self-evaluation yielded highly consistent results on domains measuring adaptive skills, though subjects underreported problematic behaviors.
