Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition: 4-12 Years
Stephen B. McCarney, Ed.D., & Tamara J. Arthaud, Ph.D.

The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Revised Second Edition (ABES-R2) provides a measure of those adaptive behaviors which are necessary for success in both an educational and home setting and are not measured by academic skills testing. The (ABES-R2) meets the need for an adaptive behavior rating scale which relies on direct behavioral observations by educators and parents/guardians in educational and residential settings. The (ABES-R2) is used as a measure of adaptive skills in the identification of mentally retarded, behaviorally disordered, learning disabled; and visually, hearing, or physically impaired students. 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): Conceptual, Social, and Practical Skills.

The technical manuals include data on internal consistency, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability; item and factor analysis; and content, criterion-related, diagnostic, and construct validity.

Characteristics and Components of the ABES-R2

The ABES-R2 is based on the definition of adaptive skills adopted by the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR, 2002).

The ABES-R2 was factor analyzed to create the factor clusters (domains).

The ABES-R2: 4-12 SV was standardized on 3,288 students ages 4 through 12 years old.

The ABES-R2: 4-12 HV was standardized on 1,998 students ages 4 through 12 years old.

The standardization population included students from 30 states, represented all geographic regions of the United States, and closely approximated the 2000 demographic characteristics of the United States.

The ABES-R2 provides norms based on age and grade for males and females.

Internal consistency, item and factor analysis, standard errors of measurement, and test-retest reliability are reported.

The ABES-R2: 4-12 can be completed in approximately 20 minutes and includes 63 items representing behaviors exhibited in and around the home environment.

The Adaptive Behavior Intervention Manual: 4-12 Years (© 2006) includes IEP goals, objectives, and interventions for all 55 items on the School Version of the scale.

The ABES-R2: 4-12 Quick Score computer program converts raw scores to standard and percentile scores and makes the scoring of both the School and Home Version rating forms efficient and convenient.
