Do Autism Adaptive Behavior Profiles Really Exist

The question of whether true adaptive behavior profiles in persons with autism spectrum disorder exist has been discussed for decades. This presentation explores if and how adaptive functioning profiles of individuals with ASD differ from typical normative samples. It explores how the implication of such profiles is relevant not only in terms of identification, but more importantly for early intervention, the generation of IEP goals, as well as transition planning. In addition, hear why including an adaptive assessment is essential when working with individuals with ASD and how to identify its role in culturally and linguistically diverse children.
