Scales of Independent Behavior - Revised

Provides a comprehensive assessment of 14 areas of adaptive behaviour and 8 areas of problem behaviour.

The Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised (SIB-R) is a comprehensive, norm-referenced assessment of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour. It is a revision of the Scales of Independent Behaviour, published in 1984, and includes a number of improvements and additions, including a statistical link to the WJ-R for normative comparisons of intellectual ability and functional independence.

Scores: SS; PR; AE; RMI; instructional and training ranges; Support Score

New Features

• Simplified administration: Test items now appear in each response booklet (Early Development, Short Form, or Full Scale) as well as in the Interview Book, increasing examiner options and convenience.
• Expanded age range: The increased range allows for better assessment of the infant-toddler and geriatric populations.
• Expanded item content: The 33 new items give users a broader measure of the adaptive behaviour skills required in everyday living.
• Simplified scoring: Age-equivalent scoring tables are included in the response booklets for each subscale, allowing examiners to get immediate developmental information.
• Increased interpretative options: The Support Score predicts the level of support a person will require based on the impact of maladaptive behaviours on adaptive functioning. Functional limitations in adaptive behaviour can be identified.
• Improved monitoring capability: the new Individual Plan Recommendation (IPR) form, included with each response booklet, is used to plan and track a person's support and service needs and goals.
