Project Details
Adaptive Behavior Assessment Instrument (ABAI)
Description
The Florida Center for Inclusive Communities is providing leadership in this project that focuses on developing an assessment instrument that will provide precise “diagnostic” information around the cutoff point where an individual is deemed to present “significant limitations” in adaptive behavior. The development of the Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale (DABS) is critical in the area of diagnosis of intellectual/developmental disabilities and in the determination of eligibility for services and benefits. This five-year project involves collaborators from across the United States and Europe. Funding of this research is provided by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities http://www.aaidd.org.
