Linguistic, Intellectual, and Adaptive Behavior Skills in a Sample of Children with Communication Disorders

The relationship among norm-referenced measures of language, nonverbal intelligence, and adaptive behavior was examined in a sample of 53 school-aged children (aged 8 to 12 years) with previously diagnosed communication disorders. On average, these children earned scores that were in the "below average" to "well below average" range on all tests. Composite scores within test batteries designed to assess language and adaptive behavior were intercorrelated moderately to highly. Correlations among these batteries, and with a measure of nonverbal intelligence, were in the moderate range. Substantial individual variability was apparent as assessed using profile analysis procedures.
