Description
Unlike existing assessments for autism/PDD, the PDD Behavior Inventory was developed to assess both problem behaviors as well as appropriate social, language, and learning/memory skills. It was also designed to provide age-standardized scores for both parent and teacher ratings. The PDD Behavior Inventory can be utilized across a variety of settings. For example, it can be used as a clinical tool for assisting in diagnosis and treatment recommendations and for assessing change over time. In addition, the PDD Behavior Inventory can be useful in educational settings (e.g., placement decisions, intervention planning, evaluating outcomes) and research applications (e.g., dependent measure for treatment intervention).
