Description: a Windows®-compatible product that provides the user with three report options, the ability to maintain individual student reports, and the ability to print appendix pages. It contains all the same data from the paperback book. The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition (ABES-R2) provides a measure of adaptive behaviors necessary for success in the educational and residential settings that are not measured by academic skills testing. The ABES-R2 meets the need for an adaptive behavior rating scale which relies on direct behavioral observations by educators and parents/guardians in educational and residential settings. The ABES-R2 is used as a measure of adaptive skills in the identification of intellectually disabled, behaviorally disordered, learning disabled; and visually, hearing, or physically impaired students. The ABES-R2 assesses 10 areas of adaptive skills grouped under the three adaptive behavior domains defined in the 10th AAMR Definition of Mental Retardation (AAMR, 2002): Conceptual, Social, and Practical Skills. The technical manuals include data on internal consistency, test-retest and inter-rater reliability; item and factor analysis; and content, criterion-related, diagnostic, and construct validity.
