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.
