Adaptive behavior of preschool children with developmental delays: parent versus teacher ratings.

Parents and teachers of 20 children with developmental delays, 24 through 38 months of age, from an early education program in Columbus, Ohio, were interviewed using the Adaptive Behavior Scale for Infants and Early Childhood. Significant differences were found between some of the ratings over the 23 domain and 11 subdomain scores, specifically in regard to sex of the child and length of time of the child's participation in the program. Parents provided higher ratings than did teachers on some domains. In general, parents and teachers tended to agree on the overall adaptive functional levels.

Cardiac reactivity and adaptive behavior.

The relationship between adaptive behavioral function and cardiac reactivity to auditory, somatosensory, and visual stimuli was evaluated using a heterogeneous population of developmentally disabled infants and young children. Stimuli of all sensory modalities resulted predominantly in a cardiac deceleration, and the magnitude of these responses varied systematically between subjects. A multiple regression analysis revealed that 60% of the variance in adaptive behavior, as measured by the Adaptive Behavior Scale for Infants and Early Childhood, could be accounted for by age and the cardiac responses. The factor with the greatest predictive weighting was cardiac reactivity to a vibrotactile stimulus, which showed a correlation of .65 with adaptive behavior scores.
