FwKnowledge Alert - RESEARCH IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
This study examined parent and teacher rating correspondence of adaptive
> and challenging behaviours for children with autism spectrum disorders
> (ASDs) enrolled in an early intervention program. Data were collected on
> the Behaviour Assessment System for Children, second edition (BASC-2; n
> = 22), and Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales, second edition (VABS-II;
> n = 28). Adaptive behaviour ratings generally demonstrated high
> parent-teacher correlations, while challenging behaviour ratings
> demonstrated relatively low correlations. Only adaptive skills on the
> BASC-2 showed significant mean parent-teacher differences, with parent
> ratings suggesting greater impairment. Results suggest that clinicians
> should consider gaining both parent and teacher perspectives on a
> child's challenging behaviour, but that a single informant measure of
> adaptive behaviour, either parent or teacher, may be sufficient after
> initial assessments are completed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
