The purpose of this paper was to examine the physical, emotional, social and school functioning domains of quality of life of individuals with Fragile X Syndrome, in relation to mental health and sleep patterns to gain a better understanding of how these aspects are affected by the disorder. This study included 119 individuals with Fragile X…

Kalvin, Carla B.; Jordan, Rebecca; Rowley, Sonia; Weis, Anna L.; Ibrahim, Karim; Sukhodolsky, Denis G. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Social adaptive functioning is notably compromised and may be further impaired by aggressive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined the association between aggressive behavior and social adaptive skills in children with ASD and the contribution of aggressive behavior to social adaptive skills in a combined…

We examined relationships between measures of adaptive behavior, cognitive ability, and autism symptom severity in 1458 preschool-aged children with autism from the Study to Explore Early Development. While publications commonly describe autistic children as "low-" or "high-functioning" based on cognitive ability, relying…

Adaptive behavior is paramount for independent living and is varyingly impaired in different neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate differences in adaptive behavior between children with autism spectrum disorder and social communication disorder, two conditions characterized by deficits in social communication. Data from 232…

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…

Gravråkmo, Sissel; Olsen, Alexander; Lydersen, Stian; Ingul, Jo Magne; Henry, Lucy; Øie, Merete G. – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the role of everyday executive functions in relation to intelligence and adaptive behaviour in children and adolescents with mild intellectual disability. Method: A group of children and adolescents, previously diagnosed with mild intellectual disability were assessed according to intelligence,…

H. Jones – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autistic individuals experience higher rates of externalising and internalising symptoms that may vary with environmental factors. However, there is limited research on variation across settings that may highlight common factors with globally generalisable effects. Data were taken from two cohorts: a multinational European sample (n = 764; 453…

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.…

Moore, Heather L.; Couteur, Ann Le; Charman, Tony; Green, Jonathan; Parr, Jeremy R.; Grahame, Victoria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Adaptive functioning of autistic children is traditionally measured through informant-report, often from parents. Behaviour varies across settings though, and context-specific reports should be considered. Limited and inconsistent results show low parent-education professional concordance, but no research has yet explored item level response…

Michaela Brown; Johnny Matson; Megan Callahan; Celeste Tevis – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication and interaction deficits, as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors. Previous research has examined the role that social deficits play on the development of daily living skills in children with ASD. However, there is a lack of research on…

Richards, Melissa N.; Putnick, Diane L.; Bradley, Laura P.; Lang, Kyle M.; Little, Todd D.; Suwalsky, Joan T. D.; Bornstein, Marc H. – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
Play during childhood is essential to growth and learning. Little is known about whether categories of toys moderate play behaviors at different ages, or how children interact with toys that are simple, appropriate, or complex for their developmental level. Two hundred and forty-three children between the ages of 1 and 8 years, divided into four…

Ousley, Ciara L.; Raulston, Tracy J.; Gilhuber, Christina S. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2022
Delays in communication are commonly experienced by young children who are not meeting developmental milestones. Early naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are efficacious, and parents can successfully embed these communication strategies into playtime routines, including when coaching is delivered via telepractice. Video feedback…

McClain, Maryellen Brunson; Schwartz, Sarah E.; Bera, Jac'lyn; Farmer, Ryan L.; Serang, Sarfaraz; Harris, Bryn; Golson, Megan E. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Measurement of adaptive skills is important in the diagnosis, intervention planning, and progress monitoring of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Thus, ensuring accurate measurement, including measurement invariance, across children with and without IDD is critical. In this study, we evaluate the measurement…

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)…
