Each SIB-R adaptive behavior item is a statement of a task, and the behavior is rated on a 4-point scale (0-never or rarely performs the task (even if asked); 1-does the task but not well or about 25 percent of the time (may need to be asked); 2-does the task fairly well or about 75 percent of the time (may need to be asked); 3-does the task very well always or almost always (without being asked)
