Description:

The Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, Third Edition (ABAS-3) assesses adaptive skills related to self-care, responsiveness to others, and the ability to meet environmental demands across the lifespan (birth to 89 years).

It is intended to identify strengths and limitations of an individual as rated by a variety of respondents to:

(a) diagnose and classify developmental and behavioral disorders, (b) identify functional limitations related to challenges/disorders, (c) document eligibility for services, (d) plan and monitor interventions, and (e) facilitate research. Eleven adaptive skills areas are assessed. Not all areas are evaluated across all age-spans, and some are dependent upon the respondent.
