Aadaptive behavior evaluation scale revised second edition: 4 - 12 years (ABES-R2: 4 - 12 years) provides a measure of adaptive skills necessary for success in educational and residential settings. The ABES-R2 may be used as a general or specific measure of adaptive skills with any student experiencing academic or behavioral difficulties regardless of the severity or suspected disability.      | ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOREVALUATIONSCALE REVISED second EDITION 4-12 YeaRs ABES-R2 4-12 Years Stephen B. McCarney . T Tamara J. Arthaud . Copyright 2006 The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition ABES-R2 provides a measure of adaptive skills necessary for success in educational and residential settings. The ABES-R2 may be used as a general or specific measure of adaptive skills with any student experiencing academic or behavioral difficulties regardless of the severity or suspected disability. 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 . The Conceptual domain assesses the adaptive skills areas of Communication and Functional Academics. The Social domain assesses the Social Leisure and Self-Direction adaptive skills areas. Self-Care Home Living Community Use Health Safety and Work are the adaptive skills areas assessed in the Practical domain. The ABES-R2 4-12 School Version was standardized on a total of 3 288 students. The ABES-R2 4-12 Home Version was standardized on a total of 1 998 students. Demographic characteristics of the standardization population approximated the national percentages for gender residence race geographic area and occupation of parents. Internal consistency of the ABES-R2 4-12 School Version fell at or above .85 for each subscale. Test-retest reliability yielded correlation coefficients ranging from .61 to .78 indicating substantial reliability for each of the 10 subscales. Coefficients for inter-rater reliability for the subscales ranged from .60 to .80 for all age levels. Content validity was established through the initial development process. The scale was compared to the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Classroom Edition 1985 and Adaptive Behavior Scale - School Second Edition 1993 as a measure of concurrent validity. The construct validity of the scale supports strong diagnostic validity. Item
