In the current study, we examined adaptive skills and trajectories over time in 257 individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 2nd Edition. Multilevel linear models were used to examine differences between molecular subtypes over time, from one year to 13 years of age, in the adaptive domains of…

Amin D. Lotfizadeh; Brendan Gard; Cynthia Rico; Alan Poling; Kristen R. Choi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Behavior analysts frequently use the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to assess the language and social skills of children with autism in everyday practice and in research. Despite the widespread use of the VB-MAPP, its psychometric characteristics have not been extensively investigated. To provide information…

Michelle L. Stransky; Laneva Cobb; Nina Menon; Emily Barnard; Cynthia Belfleur; Lawrence Scahill; Jocelyn Kuhn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
The National Institute of Mental Health created the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) to accelerate autism knowledge through data sharing and collaboration. However, our experience using NDAR reveals systematic challenges across several aspects of data submission, selection, management, and analysis that limit utility of this resource.…

Glover, Meredith; Liddle, Melissa; Fassler, Carrie; Duncan, Amie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without an intellectual disability (ID) have daily living skills (DLS) that fall below their chronological age and affect their ability to achieve successful adult outcomes, but little is known about their specific DLS challenges. Utilizing the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (VABS-3)…

Jacinta Saldaris; Helen Leonard; Kingsley Wong; Peter Jacoby; Mary Spence; Eric D. Marsh; Tim A. Benke; Scott Demarest; Jenny Downs – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) results in early-onset epilepsy and lifelong cognitive and motor impairments. With no validated measure for communication in CDD, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales-Developmental Profile Infant Toddler Checklist (CSBS-DP ITC). Caregivers (n = 150;…

Dy, Angel Belle C.; Tanchanco, Lourdes Bernadette S.; Sy, Jenica Clarisse Y.; Levantino, Myla Dominicina; Hagerman, Randi J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder present with difficulties in social communication, restricted interests or behaviors and other co-morbidities. About 2 to 10% of cases of autism have a genetic cause, and Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is reported in 0 to 6.5% of individuals with autism. However, the FXS and premutation prevalence among Filipino…

Tamm, Leanne; Day, Haley A.; Duncan, Amie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
There is limited literature examining the adaptive functioning of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study aimed to (a) document Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-3) and Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS-3) adaptive behavior profiles of adolescents with ASD; (b) examine the comparability of the two measures; and…

Valsamma Eapen; Raisa Islam; Syeda Ishra Azim; Anne Masi; Louis Klein; Lisa Karlov – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study examined connections between parental quality of life (QoL) and features of children (autism severity, cognitive ability, behavioral profile, and sociodemographic factors). Parents of 97 children attending an autism-specific preschool completed the Quality of Life in Autism, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Child Behavior…

Dupuis, Annie; Moon, Michael J.; Brian, Jessica; Georgiades, Stelios; Levy, Tomer; Anagnostou, Evdokia; Nicolson, Rob; Schachar, Russell; Crosbie, Jennifer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We examined the correlation between interviewer-administered Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale II (VABS-II) and the parent-rated Adaptive Behavior Assessment System II (ABAS-II) questionnaire in 352 participants (ages 1.5-20.8 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to determine if ABAS could be used as a screen to reduce the number of VABS…

Ruble, Lisa; McGrew, John; Dale, Brittany; Yee, Madison – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Young students with ASD have instructional needs in social, communication, and learning skills that should be reflected in their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Research suggests that many of these goal areas present a challenge for special educators because of problems with measurability. The current study utilized an idiographic approach…

Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

Srivastava, Siddharth; Clark, Bennett; Landy-Schmitt, Colleen; Offermann, Elizabeth A.; Kline, Antonie D.; Wilkinson, Samuel T.; Grados, Marco A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is associated with repetitive and self-injurious behaviors (RBs, SIB). Evaluating children with CdLS, this study: (1) characterizes the spectrum of RBs; (2) characterizes the impact and severity of RBs including SIB; (3) describes how age and adaptive functioning relate to RBs including SIB. Fifty children…

Although 70% of autistic children and young people meet criteria for co-occurring psychiatric conditions, there are few screening measures specifically for autistic individuals. We describe the development and validation of the Assessment of Concerning Behavior (ACB), an instrument co-developed with the autistic community to assess mental health…

Westerveld, Marleen F.; Paynter, Jessica; Adams, Dawn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We used parent-report data from a prospective longitudinal study to better understand the early strengths in written skills often observed in preschoolers on the spectrum. Consistent with previous research, children demonstrated relative strengths in standardized written communication compared to spoken communication scores on the VABS-II. We…

Kästel, Isabella S.; Vllasaliu, Leonora; Wellnitz, Sophia; Cholemkery, Hannah; Freitag, Christine M.; Bast, Nico – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Restricted repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are a core feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and further occur in intellectual disability (ID), mental disorders (MD), and in typically developed people (TD). There is a need of a valid and reliable measure to record RRBs as transdiagnostic symptom, which captures RRBs heterogeneity and evaluates…
