Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Performance of EMR and TMR Children.
Harrison, Patti L.; And Others – 1990
Data were collected to develop special norms for the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABSs) for educable mentally retarded (EMR) and trainable mentally retarded (TMR) children. These scales currently report special norms for retarded adults. The study also sought to determine if the low to moderate relationship typically found between…

The Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales: Standard Score Adjustments for Australian Children.
de Lemos, Marion M. – Psychological Test Bulletin, 1989
To develop Australian norms for the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Survey Form), data for 600 children aged 5-9 years were assessed. Interviews were conducted with 589 of the subjects' parents. Consistently lower scores by Australian children indicated that American norms require adjustment for Australian use. Recommended adjustments are…
