Abstract

Adaptive behavior is defined as social, conceptual and practical abilities that enable to handle demands of daily life. Internationally there are several instruments available to assess child's adaptive behavior, however, no psychometrically sound normreferenced instruments in Czech Republic.

In our project we develop adaptive behavior rating scale that would 1) reflect life in Czech Republic, 2) apply to assessment of ID and 3) provide data for qualitative analysis of child's special needs. Rating scale will evaluate adaptive behavior of children from 5 to 15 years in both family (parental form) and educational (teacher form) context.
