ASSESSMENT SCALES
The scales are organized using three domains--Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization--
that correspond to the three broad domains of adaptive functioning specified by the American
Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and by DSM-5. In addition, Vineland-3
offers optional Motor Skills and Maladaptive Behavior domains for situations in which these areas
are of concern.
