Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) / Amin D. LOTFIZADEH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-3 (March 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-3 (March 2025) . - p.803-811 Titre : Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amin D. LOTFIZADEH, Auteur ; Brendan M. GARD, Auteur ; Cynthia RICO, Auteur ; Alan POLING, Auteur ; Kristen R. CHOI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.803-811 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Behavior analysts frequently use the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to assess the language and social skills of children with autism in everyday practice and in research. Despite the widespread use of the VB-MAPP, its psychometric characteristics have not been extensively investigated. To provide information about its convergent validity, we calculated correlations between scores earned by 235 children with autism on the VB-MAPP and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS), a commonly used assessment with good reliability and validity. We obtained moderate or strong positive correlations between the VB-MAPP Milestones score and VABS Communication, Socialization, and Daily Living Skills subdomains. There was also a strong positive correlation between the VB-MAPP Milestones score and VABS overall raw score. These findings suggest that the VB-MAPP Milestones Assessment measures aspects of social and communicative behavior comparable to those indexed by these VABS subdomains which, like prior findings, supports the use of the Milestones Assessment. No significant relationship was observed between the VB-MAPP Barriers score and the VABS Internalizing, Externalizing, or overall Maladaptive Behavior scores. These findings, like prior findings, question the value of the VB-MAPP?s Barriers Assessment as a measure of maladaptive behavior.

Inter-Rater Agreement for the Milestones and Barriers Assessments of the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) / Khrystle L. MONTALLANA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-5 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-5 (May 2019) . - p.2015-2023 Titre : Inter-Rater Agreement for the Milestones and Barriers Assessments of the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Khrystle L.

A pair of raters independently rated each of 32 children diagnosed with autism. Intraclass correlation coefficients for the total Milestones and Barrier scores were 0.876 and 0.629, respectively, indicating good and moderate reliability. There was variability in reliability in the different domains of the Milestones Assessment, with most indicating moderate reliability, and most of the individual Barriers Assessment domains indicating poor reliability. These are the first data relevant to the reliability of the VB-MAPP, they suggest that further evaluation of its reliability is merited and that a high reliability for individual domains should not be assumed.

Intervention research to benefit people with autism: How old are the participants? / Timothy L. EDWARDS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)

Most participants were between two and eight years of age and only 1.7% of them were 20 or more years of age. These findings suggest that the special needs of older people with autism have generated little interest among researchers, which is arguably an unfortunate oversight.

Predictors of perceptions of ABA services from the autistic community / Nicole Meyer STABLER in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 128 (October 2025) . - p.202726 Titre : Predictors of perceptions of ABA services from the autistic community Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nicole Meyer STABLER, Auteur ; Alyssa KAVNER, Auteur ; Isaac NWI-MOZU, Auteur ; Paula POMPA-CRAVEN, Auteur ; Amin D. LOTFIZADEH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202726 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied behavior analysis  Social validity  Perceptions  Autism  Intervention goals  Intervention procedures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions are commonly used to teach autistic learners a variety of skills. When examining the perceptions of ABA goals and procedures, most autistic learners have reported positive or neutral perceptions of ABA, but some individuals have also expressed negative perceptions of goals that reduce or eliminate autistic traits and procedures that use extinction. This study assessed predictors of perceptions of ABA goals and procedures from self-reported autistic individuals who received ABA. Using a stratified sampling approach, 178 autistic participants aged nine and older completed a 36-question survey. The results indicated that gender identity, affiliation with an autism self-advocacy group, the setting of services, and when they received ABA influenced perceptions. There was consensus across all respondents that ABA goals eliminated autism traits, there was limited input from the autistic learners on goals, the therapist made them follow instructions, and the participants indicated that they were allowed to have things they needed. Furthermore, individuals who were sampled from ABA organizations and those who received ABA less than six years ago had favorable perceptions of ABA. These findings highlight the need to involve autistic voices in the development of treatment goals but also indicate that many of the critiques of ABA are not held by most in the autism community.
