Although diagnosticians have become increasingly sensitized to the importance of assessing adaptive behavior in persons with intellectual delay, few empirical data have been available with respect to the relationship between these two dimensions of development in referred clinical populations. Subjects in this study were 117 children aged 9 to 111 months who had significantly intellectual delay. All subjects were administered the Developmental Profile II (DPII), a parent-report measure of functional and adaptive skills. Seventy-nine percent of the children with mild intellectual delay obtained Self-Help age scores on the DPII and 74.2% Social Age scores that were within broad chronological age expectations. A surprising percentage of children with moderate and severe intellectual delays also obtained adaptive age scores at this level.
尽管诊断医生已越来越意识到评估智力发育迟缓者适应行为的重要性，但关于转诊临床人群中这两个发育维度之间的关系，几乎没有实证数据。本研究的受试者为117名年龄在9至111个月之间、有明显智力发育迟缓的儿童。所有受试者都接受了《发展概况II》（DPII）测试，这是一项由家长报告的关于功能和适应技能的测评。79%的轻度智力发育迟缓儿童在DPII测试中获得了自理年龄得分，74.2%的儿童获得了符合大致实际年龄预期的社交年龄得分。中度和重度智力发育迟缓儿童中，也有相当比例在这一水平上获得了适应年龄得分，这令人惊讶。
