Discrepancies in Parent and Teacher Ratings of Adaptive Behavior of Children with Multiple Disabilities.

Voelker, Sylvia; And Others

Mental Retardation, v35 n1 p10-17 Feb 1997

Parent and teacher ratings of the adaptive skills of 59 children (mean age 6 years) with multiple disabilities in a rehabilitation day treatment setting were compared using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Teachers systematically rated the children as more skilled in both global and specific domains of adaptive behavior than did the parents. (Author/CR)
