1 Adaptive Behavior assessment : Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition (VinelandTM-II) Overview The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition ( Vineland -IITM; Sparrow, Cicchetti, & Balla, 2005) is a measure of personal and social skills needed for everyday life. Domains assessed include communication, daily living, motor skills, and socialization. The socialization domain is targeted at measuring impairments associated with autism. A Maladaptive Behavior Index is optional. Four formats include survey interview (may be administered through a semi-structured interview); expanded interview (more comprehensive; may be used as a follow-up to obtain more information about skill deficits reported in the survey interview); parent/caregiver rating form (covers the same content as the survey interview but can be completed by parents as a rating scale); and teacher rating form (consists of a teacher checklist of Adaptive skills that the student is performing in the classroom setting).
