 | | Per your request, we are submitting a written statement asking for testing of our son, 7th grade, age 14, using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS), that the school administer that test and why. |
 | | The rationale for having the Vineland test done is that the scores on the Vineland for children who have FAS/E are much lower than the IQ scores. |
 | | Given that there are three possible tests for measuring Michael's social functionality, that is VABS, PIC and FABS, I believe that the Vineland test (VABS) is the most accessible, considered technically sound, the cheapest to administer and adequately meets my son's needs. |
