The Adaptive Behavior Inventory for Learning Skills (ABIL) is a tool used to assess adaptive behavior skills in children with developmental disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Adaptive behavior refers to the skills needed for daily living and functioning in various environments, including social, communication, self-care, and motor skills. The ABIL assesses these skills across different domains and provides valuable information for educators, clinicians, and parents to tailor interventions and support strategies to the individual needs of the child.
