TAILIEUCHUNG - The construct of adaptive behavior: Its conceptualization, measurement, and use in the field of intellectual disability

The construct of adaptive behavior: Its conceptualization, measurement, and use in the field of intellectual disability updates the current conceptualization, measurement, and use of the adaptive behavior construct. Major sections of the article address an understanding of the construct, the current approaches to its measurement, four assessment issues and challenges related to the use of adaptive behavior information for the diagnosis of intellectual disability, and two future issues regarding the relations of adaptive behavior to multidimensional models of  personal competence and the distribution of adaptive behavior scores.  | AAIDD DOI AMERICAN JOURNAL ON INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 2012 Vol. 117 No. 4 291-303 The Construct of Adaptive Behavior Its Conceptualization Measurement and Use in the Field of Intellectual Disability Marc J.

Borthwick-Duffy Scott Spreat David Thissen Keith F Widaman and Dalun Zhang Abstract This article updates the current conceptualization measurement and use of the adaptive behavior construct. Major sections of the article address an understanding of the construct the current approaches to its measurement four assessment issues and challenges related to the use of adaptive behavior information for the diagnosis of intellectual disability and two future issues regarding the relations of adaptive behavior to multidimensional models of personal competence and the distribution of adaptive behavior scores. An understanding of the construct of adaptive behavior and its measurement is critical to clinicians and practitioners in the field because of its role in understanding the phenomenon of intellectual disability diagnosing a person with intellectual disability providing a framework for person-referenced education and habilitation goals and focusing on an essential dimension of human functioning. Key Words adaptive behavior assessment adaptive behavior skills adaptive behavior construct diagnosis intellectual disability The construct of adaptive behavior fulfills four essential functions in the field of intellectual disability ID . First significant limitations in adaptive behavior along with significant limitations in intellectual functioning and age of onset prior to age 18 define ID operationally. Second scores on measures of adaptive behavior are used to determine whether the person meets the second prong for a diagnosis of ID significant limitations in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual social and practical adaptive skills. Third the .
