This study utilized the AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale--Public School Version (AAMD--ABS--PSV) to compare adaptive behavior ratings by parents, by regular classroom teachers, and by exceptional education teachers of black educable mentally retarded (EMR) students. Forty students ranging in age from 7 years, 3 months to 13 years, 2 months were rated by parents and teachers. Regular classroom teachers and exceptional education teachers rated students similarly on the various domains of the AAMD--ABS--PSV. The teachers differed significantly on one domain--unacceptable or eccentric habits. Parents and teachers, regular and exceptional education, differed significantly on the various domains of the scale with parents consistently rating the students higher on the more positive aspects of adaptive behavior. / Overall results indicated parents and teachers should be included in the adaptive behavior assessment process. The data from parents provide the information needed for a complete picture of the individual and additional information that may be useful in the development of a meaningful educational program. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-10, Section: A, page: 3284. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
