“…This is in stark contrast to a MPS II patient who has poor social skills and very limited communication skills. Consistent with these observations, Bruininks et al (1987) noted that there is a body of evidence citing social skills deficits as "primary factors in the failure of handicapped individuals to be successfully integrated into community and work settings" (p. 78). However, in our study, even those with mild forms of MPS II had notable deficits in motor and daily living skills, based on caregivers' reports.…”

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a chronic and progressive X-linked lysosomal disease that mainly affects males. It occurs in 1 in every 65,000 to 1 in 132,000 births. There are two distinct forms of the disease based on age of onset and clinical course: mild and severe. MPS II affects many organ systems including the nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and respiratory systems. Complications can include vision problems, progressive hearing loss, thickened and elastic skin, mental impairment, and enlarged liver and spleen. We herein focus on the adaptive behavior of individuals with MPS II, and the impact of MPS II on the family system. Outcomes from the Vineland-II Adaptive Behavior Scales showed that the MPS II patient sample experienced significantly lower functioning in communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills compared to normative data. Patients with severe MPS II were found to have significantly lower adaptive functioning in all domains, as compared to those with mild MPS II. Length of time on ERT had no significant relationship to adaptive functioning. Results from the Peds QL Family Impact Module indicated that families of patients with MPS II experienced a lower overall health-related quality of life and overall lower family functioning (including lower emotional and cognitive functioning) than those with chronic illnesses residing in an inpatient setting.

“…En opinión de algunos investigadores, el constructo de conducta adaptativa ha contribuido a mejorar significativamente el diagnóstico, clasificación y planificación de apoyos (Bruininks, Thurlow & Gilman, 1987;luckasson et al, 1992;luckasson et al, 2003;Jacobson, 2006;Schalock et al, 2010). Este trabajo ha permitido incrementar la congruencia entre la conducta adaptativa, tal y como la formula la Asociación Americana de Discapacidad Intelectual y del Desarrollo (AAIDD, antes AAMD) (Schalock et al, 2010), con los modelos conceptuales que se describen en los dominios de competencia personal en los trabajos de Greenspan (Greenspan, 1981;Greenspan & Granfield, 1992;Greenspan, Switzky & Granfield, 1996;Greenspan & Driscoll, 1997); ha posibilitado la relación con algunas teorías de inteligencia (Woodcock & Muñoz-Sandoval, 1993; y con la capacidad de autodeterminación (Wehmeyer, Abery, Mithaug, & Stancliffe, 2003), y, finalmente, también ha favorecido una relación más estrecha con los principios de calidad de vida de personas con discapacidad intelectual (Schalock, 2001;Schalock, 2003).…”

Resumen El artículo pretende describir la génesis del constructo conducta adaptativa, su vinculación con la noción de discapacidad intelectual y poner de relieve la importancia de la conducta adaptativa como criterio para el diagnóstico de discapacidad intelectual. Asimismo, se caracterizará el constructo conducta adaptativa tanto en lo que concierne a sus aspectos legales como a su uso para el diagnóstico en las orientaciones técnicas y los formularios únicos propuestos por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. Finalmente, se plantea una discusión sobre los aciertos y desaciertos del incipiente desarrollo del uso del constructo conducta adaptativa, en lo que concierne a su utilización en personas con discapacidad intelectual específicamente en contextos educativos.Palabras clave: conducta adaptativa, discapacidad intelectual, diagnóstico de discapacidad intelectual. AbstRActThe main aim of this article is to describe the genesis of the construct adaptive behavior, its relation with the idea of intellectual disability and to remark the importance of the adaptive behavior as criteria for the diagnosis of intellectual disability. Also will be characterized the adaptive behavior construct in what concerns to legal aspects, as well as its use for the diagnosis in the technical orientations and the unique forms proposed by the Ministry of Education in Chile. Finally, we present a discussion about the strengths and shortcomings of the incipient development of the use of adaptive behavior construct, with respect to their use in people with intellectual disabilities specifically in educational settings.Key words: adaptive behavior, intellectual disability, intellectual disability diagnosis.Resumo Descreve-se a gênese do instrumento, Conduta Adaptativa, sua vinculação com a noção de deficiência intelectual e dá relevância à importância de conduta adaptativa como critério para o diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual.

“…A precise definition of the terms "adaptive behaviour" or "social competence" is not readily available. Usually it is taken to refer to everyday skills in personal independence and social responsibility (Bruininks, Thurlow, and Gilman, 1987). Unlike assessments of intellectual functioning, however, measures of social competence serve not only to ascertain the presence of mental handicap but also to shape intervention programmes for people with mental handicaps by identifying their This study was supported by St. Michael's House Research, Dublin, Ireland strengths and deficits, and hence objectives for skill training (Horn and Fuchs, 1987).…”

“…T h e present study applies the factor analytic methodology to a popular British measure of social competence, the Pathways to Independence checklist of personal and social skills (Jeffree and Cheseldine, 1982). This covers the key domains of adaptive behaviour named in other instruments (Bruininks, Thurlow, and Gilman, 1987), but as yet no attempt has been made to analyse its dimensional structure. At the theoretical level, such an investigation would help to identify and clarify common dimensions to the concept of social competence.…”

Dimensions of social competence in a population of adults with mental handicap

When scores across 29 of the 36 areas of personal and social skill on the Pathways to Independence checklist were analysed, a multidimensional structure with one large factor, personal independence, emerged. Results suggest that, as some basic skills were loaded on single factors, and more complex skills emerged as conglomerates, two types of competence were apparent.Implications for the provision of functional teaching strategies in natural settings are discussed. Replication among other client groups is proposed. The usefulness of social competence measures in ascertaining intellectual development as well as adaptive functioning should be tested in future studies.
