The Vineland-II measures personal and social skills used for everyday living. Psychologists and other professionals use it to identify individuals who have mental retardation, developmental delays, brain injuries, and other impairments. The Vineland-II consists of four forms:
- Survey Interview — administered to a parent or caregiver in a semistructured interview format; designed to provide a targeted assessment of adaptive behaviour
- Parent/Caregiver Rating Form — covers the same content as the Survey Interview in a rating scale format
- Expanded Interview — administered in a semistructured interview format; designed to provide a more comprehensive assessment of adaptive behaviour and assist with the preparation of educational and/or treatment programs. The Expanded Interview can also be used as a follow-up to obtain more information about deficits suggested by the Survey Interview.
- Teacher Rating Form — questionnaire completed by the teacher; designed to assess adaptive behaviour of a student in the classroom.
analyses skills and behaviours in four domains:
- Communication
- Socialisation
- Daily Living Skills
- Motor Skill
In addition, the Survey Interview, Expanded Interview, and Parent/Caregiver Rating Form contain an optional maladaptive behaviour domain for pinpointing undesirable behaviours that may interfere with adaptive functioning. Vineland-II is useful for diagnosis, qualification for special programs, progress reporting, program and treatment planning, and research. The Vineland-II can be used with individuals with mental retardation, developmental delays, Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, post-traumatic brain injury, hearing impairment, and Dementia/Alzheimer's disease.
