Villa, Susanna; Micheli, Enrico; Villa, Laura; Pastore, Valentina; Crippa, Alessandro; Molteni, Massimo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
The PEP-R (psychoeducational profile revised) is an instrument that has been used in many countries to assess abilities and formulate treatment programs for children with autism and related developmental disorders. To the end to provide further information on the PEP-R's psychometric properties, a large sample (N = 137) of children presenting…

Brief Report: The Training and Assessment of Relational Precursors and Abilities (TARPA)--A Preliminary Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moran, Laura; Stewart, Ian; McElwee, John; Ming, Siri – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
The TARPA (Training & Assessment of Relational Precursors & Abilities) is a recently developed computer-based protocol for the assessment of a progression of key domains of responding critical to the development of generative language. In the current pilot study, five children with autism were assessed using the TARPA and their score on…

Callahan, Emily H.; Gillis, Jennifer M.; Romanczyk, Raymond G.; Mattson, Richard E. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2011
Many treatment programs for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) target social skills, and there is growing attention directed toward the development of specific interventions to improve social skills and social interactions in this population (Hestenes & Carroll, 2000; Strain & Hoyson, 2000). However, there are limited tools…

Intellectual and Adaptive Functioning: Some Tables for Interpreting the Vineland in Combination with Intelligence Tests.
Atkinson, Leslie – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The article provides a set of tables with the differences necessary for statistical significance between the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Bayley Scales of Infant Development, McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and Wechsler scales. The tables are intended to supplement clinical decisions in…

Introduction to Symposium and Intercorrelations, Sex, and Race Differences on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales.
Childers, John S.; And Others – 1982
Preliminary findings are presented from a study of the performance of 99 institutionalized retarded children on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS), a revised form of the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS). No significant sex or race differences were revealed on test performances. Mental age was found to correlate with VABS scores with…

The Convergent Validity of the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills for Individuals with Severe Retardation (MESSIER).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Matson, Johnny L.; Bamburg, Jay W.; Carlisle, Carla Beth – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1998
A study administered the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills for Individuals with Severe Retardation (MESSIER) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) to 892 individuals with severe mental retardation residing in a residential state facility. Significant positive correlations were found between corresponding MESSIER subscales and VABS…

Validity of Self-Report of Adaptive Behavior Skills by Adults with Mental Retardation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Voelker, Sylvia L.; And Others – Mental Retardation, 1990
Forty-eight adults with mental retardation assessed their daily living competency using the revised Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Compared to subject and counselor interviews and demonstrated competency, the self-evaluation yielded highly consistent results on domains measuring adaptive skills, though subjects underreported problematic…

Discriminant Validity of the Vineland Scales: Score Profiles of Individuals with Mental Retardation and a Specific Disorder.
Balboni, Giulia; Pedrabissi, Luigi; Molteni, Massimo; Villa, Susanna – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001
Utility of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Expanded Form to discriminate among areas of adaptive behavior was substantiated by comparing profiles of scores obtained by 113 individuals with mental retardation and either a communication, social behavior, or motor disorder. Results support the use of the Vineland Scales in ecological evaluation…
