Future Developments in the Concept and Application of Adaptive Behavior

Abstract
A fictional post-evaluation conference conducted in 1995 is used to present predictions regarding the future of adaptive behavior assessment and intervention. The conference includes an analysis of the student's profile of performance on a comprehensive adaptive behavior scale with norms based on the entire United States population and supplemental norms for a variety of demographic and diagnostic subgroups, the results of additional testing suggested from the performance profile and recommendations for services to meet the student's future needs. Predictions are based on issues that are current in the literature; relevant articles and papers are cited. The status of theoretical issues 10 years from now are also presented as extrapolations of current trends.
