A practical guide to adaptive behaviors across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders
Adaptive behavior assessment measures independent living skills, including communication, social skills, personal care, and practical work skills. For individuals with intellectual disabilities, evaluation of these skills is a critical tool for measuring eligibility and can identify specific skills that must be learned before effective educational interventions can be implemented. Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders describes the role of adaptive behavior in assessment and treatment, and provides clear guidance for measurement. Case samples provide real-world illustration of behaviors and assessment, and systematic comparison of various measures are presented and explained to better inform planning.
Individual chapters outline specific adaptive behaviors across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, giving clinicians, practitioners, students, and researchers a better understanding of diagnostic differentials and how to place independent skill programming in treatment and intervention.
* Plan intervention and treatment based on accessible measurement guidelines across a range of disorders
* Gain a deeper understanding of adaptive functioning specific to ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, and genetic disorders
* Compare and contrast current measures to evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of overlap
* Quickly locate essential information with Rapid Reference and Caution boxes
For individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, adaptive behaviors are the keys to independence; without them, these individuals will perpetually struggle with achieving optimum independence without the basic skills needed to function at home, in school, and in the community. Assessment allows these skills to be factored in to treatment and intervention planning, and can help improve the outcomes of other intervention methods. Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders clarifies the assessment of these important behaviors, helping clinicians make more informed decisions around diagnosis, education, and treatment planning.

A comprehensive guide to adaptive behaviors across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders
Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders offers a practical and concise guide that explores the role of adaptive behavior in assessment and treatment and contains clear guidelines for measurement. The text includes case samples that provide real-world illustrations of behaviors and assessment. Also included are systematic comparisons of various measures that are designed to help better inform planning. Written to promote a deeper understanding of the use of assessment data to inform interventions in clinical practice, actionable coverage includes the latest information on prevalence, causes, differential diagnoses, behavioral and social concerns, test instruments, and the DSM-5® diagnostic criteria. It also addresses the wide range of legal issues and state policies affected by the change in diagnostic criteria.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, this book is designed to help busy practitioners and psychologists quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders offers unmatched guidance and direction for providing feedback to parents and caretakers of individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as for caregivers and advocates of adults seeking community and vocational support services.
