Description
The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales II (Vineland II) (2005, 2006, 2008) is the second revision of the venerable and internationally employed Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) (Doll, 1935), the first standardized adaptive behavior test. The first revision, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (ABS) was published in 1984 (survey and expanded forms) and 1985 (classroom edition). The ABS and the Vineland II are the most widely used adaptive behavior tests in the world. The Vineland II assesses an individual’s development of personal independence and social responsibility by gathering information about day-to-day activities necessary to take care of oneself and to get along with others. There are four forms of the Vineland II, two using information obtained in a semi-structured interview with a parent or caregiver (2005) and two using a rating form completed by a teacher or parent/caregiver (2005; 2006).
For more information on each form see Table 1.
