The Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System 3rd ed. (ABAS-3), provides a complete picture of functional skills across the life span. It is particularly useful for evaluating those with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, learning disabilities, neuropsychological disorders, and sensory or physical impairments.
Key Features:
The ABAS-3 covers three broad domains (conceptual, social and practical). Within these domains, it assesses 11 skill areas. Items focus on practical, everyday activities required to function, meet environmental demands, care for oneself, and interact with others effectively and independently.
Skill Areas:
1. Communication
2. Community Use
3. Functional Academics
4. Health and Safety
5. Home or School Living
6. Leisure
7. Self-care
8. Self-direction
9. Social
10. Work
11. Motor
There are five ABAS-3 rating forms, each for a specific age range and respondent. On a 4-point response scale, raters indicate whether, and how frequently, the individual performs each activity. In addition, the Adult Form can function as a self-rating.
These forms can be completed by parents, family members, teachers, day-care staff, supervisors, counsellors, or others who are familiar with the daily activities of the individual being evaluated.
The ABAS-3 can be administered and scored by hand, administered by hand and scored via software, or fully administered online.
ABAS-3 Online – WPS Online Evaluation System
The WPS Online Evaluation System makes administering and scoring the ABAS-3 faster and more accurate, offering improved clinical efficiency. Online testing allows clinicians to administer all forms remotely or in-person, check the status of an administration at any time, score and report automatically, create customised intervention plans and quickly compare two raters’ scores.
