The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition (ABES-R2) provides a measure of those adaptive behaviors which are necessary for success in both an educational and home setting and 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 mentally retarded, 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.
