SIB-R Short Form for the Visually Imparied

The Scales of Independent Behaviour-Revised Short Form has been adapted for use with individuals with visual impairments. The SIB-R Short Form consists of 40 items covering the entire range of content and development. Approximately 40% of the Short Form adaptive behaviour items have been adapted by modifying or substituting items to create the SIB-R Short Form for the Visually Impaired. No changes were necessary in the maladaptive behaviour section. This adapted version is designed to be a screening or brief assessment of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour for the individuals with visual impairments from infancy to 80+ years of age.

The SIB-R Short Form for the Visually Impaired can be administered using an interview or checklist procedure. A Broad Independence Score will be obtained. If the Problem Behaviour items are administered, four index scores and a Support Score can be calculated. The SIB-R Comprehensive Manual and norms should be used with this adapted form.
