The assessment of adaptive behavior enriches our view of a child's development beyond the traditional psychometric IQ, and considering it is relevant to the creation of an academic plan for that child. The purpose of this study was to compare the patterns of adaptive behavior in gifted and nongifted children in order to describe the construct of adaptive behavior among children of various levels of intellectual capacity. The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, which measures four categories of adaptive behavior, was used in the analysis. The results indicated a significant difference between gifted and nongifted groups of children in the Vineland categories of communication, social skills, and daily living skills. However, the area of motor skill development did not yield significant differences between gifted and nongifted children. It was concluded that measures of adaptive behavior differ among children of varying levels of intellectual functioning. Implications for educational programs are discussed.
