Abstract

Background

Adaptive skills measures tend to be lengthy. The GO4KIDDS (Great Outcomes for Kids Impacted by Severe Developmental Disabilities; Perry, Taheri, Ting and Weiss, 2015) Brief Adaptive Behaviour Scale was developed as a brief measure of adaptive skills. Our study aimed to examine the scale’s psychometric properties in a large sample of children in special education.

Methods

Teachers reported on 361 students with severe to profound intellectual disability (ID). A principal components analysis (PCA) examined the scale’s factor structure. Convergent validity was examined in relation to the Vineland (VABS-II; Sparrow, Cicchetti, & Balla, 2005).

Results

The PCA indicated a single component measuring overall adaptive skills, which had excellent internal consistency (alpha=.93), and convergent validity (Pearson’s r= .81).

Conclusions

Teacher-reported scores on the GO4KIDDS Brief Behaviour Scale can provide a reliable and valid composite of adaptive skills in children with severe to profound ID.
