Useful for Diagnosing and Classifying Developmental, Learning, and Behavioral Disabilities and Disorders

 

Identifying your clients' strengths and weaknesses; and documenting and monitoring progress over time, the ABAS-3 provides a comprehensive norm-referenced assessment of adaptive skills in individuals ages birth–89 years.

Features and benefits

  • Retains all the essential features that made the second edition the preferred instrument but is even easier to administer and score.
  • Particularly useful for evaluating those with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, learning disabilities, neuropsychological disorders, and sensory or physical impairments.
  • Integrates assessment, intervention planning, and progress monitoring.
  • Developed with American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), DSM-5, and IDEA standards in mind.

Several ABAS-3 forms have been translated into U.S. Spanish: the Adult Forms, the School: Parent Forms, the School: Teacher Forms, the Infant and Preschool: Parent/Primary Caregiver Forms, and the Infant and Preschool: Teacher/Daycare Provider Forms. These products use English norms only.
