The Vineland-II is the leading measure of personal and social skills needed for everyday living. Psychologists and other professionals continue to depend on it to identify individuals who have an intellectual disability, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders and other impairments.

This flexible edition features:

• Expanded age range encompasses birth to age 90 (Survey Interview, Expanded Interview, Parent/Caregiver Rating Form) and 3 to 21:11 (Teacher Rating Form)

• Updated content reflects tasks and daily living skills that are attuned to current societal expectations

• Increased coverage of early childhood adaptive behaviour improves classification of intellectual disability

• More complete coverage of adult adaptive behaviour improves detection of decline in older adults

• Semistructured interview format now lists items by subdomain, making test administration easier

• Parent/Caregiver Rating Form gives you another choice, a simple rating scale, for obtaining the basic information you receive from the semistructured interview

Covers the full spectrum of adaptive behaviour

All Vineland-II forms aid in diagnosing and classifying learning difficulties and other disorders, such as autism, Asperger Syndrome and developmental delays.

The content and scales of Vineland-II were organised within a three domain structure: Communication, Daily Living, and Socialisation.

In addition, Vineland-II offers a Motor Skills Domain and an optional Maladaptive Behaviour Index to provide more in-depth information about your clients.

Vineland-II Survey Forms ASSIST™

The Vineland-II Survey Forms ASSIST and Teacher Form ASSIST software takes the tedium out of scoring and interpretation. It calculates derived scores for you easily and accurately. The software also produces detailed reports at the click of a button.

More Flexibility with Four forms

Survey Interview Form provides a targeted assessment of adaptive behaviour. You administer the survey to a parent or caregiver using a semi-structured interview format. This approach gathers more in-depth information with its open-ended questions and promotes rapport between the interviewer and respondent.
Parent/Caregiver Rating Form covers the same content as the Survey Interview, but uses a rating scale format. This alternative approach works when time or access is limited. The Parent/Caregiver Rating Form is also a valuable tool for progress monitoring. Use the Survey Interview Form on the initial assessment and track progress by using the Parent/Caregiver Rating Form.
Expanded Interview Form provides an in-depth alternative to the Survey Interview form with 40% more items. Particularly suitable for ages 0 to 5 or to help facilitate detailed program planning for very low functioning individuals.
Teacher Rating Form assesses adaptive behaviour for students in school, preschool, or a structured day care setting. This form uses a questionnaire format completed by the teacher or day care provider. The Teacher Rating Form contains the same Domains as the Survey Forms but covers content that a teacher would observe in a classroom setting. Targeted and comprehensive, the form lets you evaluate a student's functioning in a single domain or any combination of domains. An adaptive Behaviour Composite score is provided when all four domains are administered
