ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR EVALUATION SCALEREVISED SECOND EDITION: 4-12 YEARS
(ABES-R2: 4-12 Years)
Stephen B. McCarney, Ed.D. & Tamara J. Arthaud, Ph.D. Copyright © 2006
The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition (ABES-R2) provides a measure of adaptive skills nec-essary for success in educational and residential settings. The ABES-R2 may be used as a general or specific measure of adaptive skills with any student experiencing academic or behavioral difficulties regardless of the severity or suspected disability. The ABES-R2 assesses 10 areas of adaptive skills grouped under the three adaptive behavior domains defined in the 10th AAMR Definition of Mental Retardation (AAMR, 2002). The Conceptual domain assesses the adaptive skills areas of Communication and Functional Academics. The Social domain assesses the Social, Leisure, and Self-Direction adaptive skills areas. Self-Care, Home Living, Community Use, Health & Safety, and Work are the adaptive skills areas assessed in the Practical domain.
The ABES-R2:4-12 School Version was standardized on a total of 3,288 students. The ABES-R2: 4-12 Home Version was standardized on a total of 1,998 students. Demographic characteristics of the standardization population approximated the national percentages for gender, residence, race, geographic area, and occupation of parents.
Internal consistency of the ABES-R2: 4-12 School Version fell at or above .85 for each subscale. Test-retest reliability yielded correlation coefficients ranging from .61 to .78, indicating substantial reliability for each of the 10 subscales. Coef-ficients for inter-rater reliability for the subscales ranged from .60 to .80 for all age levels. Content validity was established through the initial development process. The scale was compared to the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Classroom Edi-tion (1985) and Adaptive Behavior Scale - School: Second Edition (1993) as a measure of concurrent validity. The construct validity of the scale supports strong diagnostic validity. Item performance correlated positively with total score performance, further substantiating the internal cohesiveness of the scale as a measure of adaptive skills.
The ABES-R2: 4-12 uses frequency-referenced quantifiers. Each item on the ABES-R2: 4-12 is rated on a six point scale from (0) NOT DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE FOR AGE to (5) DEMONSTRATES THE BEHAVIOR OR SKILL CONSISTENTLY. Following administration, seven types of scores may be obtained: frequency rating for each item (reflect-ing the degree of success in performing a behavior), subscale raw score (the sum of the frequency ratings for each subscale), subscale standard score (a consistent basis for comparing students), a domain quotient and percentile, and an adaptive skills quotient and percentile. Using the subscale standard scores, a profile of the student’s level of functioning across the 10 sub-scales may be constructed.
The ABES-R2: 4-12 takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and can be completed by anyone familiar with the stu-dent: the classroom teacher, clinical personnel, other school personnel, or the parent/guardian. The ABES-R2: 4-12 com-plete kit consists of school and home version rating forms and technical manuals, and the Adaptive Behavior Intervention Manual: 4-12 Years. The intervention manual includes goals, objectives, and intervention strategies for the behaviors on the scale and was designed for the convenient development of the student’s IEP.
The ABES-R2: 4-12 is a valuable tool designed to assist school personnel in making diagnostic, placement, and program-ming decisions for mentally retarded and emotionally disturbed/behaviorally disordered children and adolescents. The strong correlation of school and home ratings of adaptive skills makes the ABES-R2: 4-12 an efficient and effective means of mea-suring adaptive skills for educational decision-making. The companion Adaptive Behavior Intervention Manual: 4-12 Years is a must for use in program development and implementation for handicapped students. The ABES-R2: 4-12 Quick Score is a Windows®-compatible program which converts raw scores to standard and percentile scores.

III. Goals, Objectives, and Interventions
1 Comprehends typical verbal communications
1. Provide the student with a written copy of verbal communications (e.g., directions, questions, announcements, etc.).
2. When the student is required to recall information, remind him/her of the situation in which the material was originally presented (e.g., “Remember yesterday when we talked about . . . .”).
3. Allow the student to speak without being interrupted or hurried.
4. Follow a less desirable task with a highly desirable task. Make following of verbal direc-tions and completion of the first task necessary to complete the second task.
5. Communicate clearly to the student when it is time to listen to verbal communications.
6. Use pictures, diagrams, and gestures when delivering information verbally.
7. Communicate in a variety of ways to facilitate the student’s understanding (e.g., if the student fails to understand verbal directions, present them in written form).
8. Use multiple modalities (e.g., auditory, visual, tactile, etc.) when presenting verbal com-munications to the student.
9. Work through steps of the verbal direc-tions as they are delivered to make certain the student follows the directions accurately.
10. Maintain a consistent format of verbal communications with the student.
11. Have the student question any verbal communications he/she does not understand.
12. Reinforce the student for attending to verbal communications based on the length of time the student can be successful. As the student demonstrates success, gradually increase the length of time required for reinforcement.
13. Teach the student context cues to deter-mine the meaning of words he/she hears.
14. State directions, questions, comments, etc., to the student individually.
15. Tape record information for the student to replay and repeat as necessary.
