Objectives. Adaptive behavior (AB) is the ability to perform activities that are essential for everyday independent living on both personal and social levels. It encompasses practical, conceptual and social skills. Currently, no standardized tool adapted to the Slovak cultural context is available, although the implementation of ICD-11 in clinical practice and research requires the assessment of AB to determining the severity of intellectual disability or functionality of a child. Hypotheses and analysis. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between AB, demographic and socio-economic factors, and to provide preliminary norms for the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (VABS-3), Parent Form, thus supplementing the missing information about AB in our cultural context. Sample and settings. The Slovak research version of VABS-3, the Comprehensive Parent Questionnaire Form, was used for the analysis. The research sample consisted of 406 children (50% boys) aged 2–10 years (M=5.26; SD=2.47) without identified developmental delays, developmental disorders or other clinical conditions. Results. VABS-3 scales moderately to strongly correlated with age. Gender differences were observed in almost all scales, but only with a small effect. More significant gender differences were found in preschool-age groups. One-way ANCOVA was used to examine differences in AB concerning the parent’s education, family’s financial status and the size of the residence where the child lives, controlling for the childrenʼs age. Expressive and receptive communication varied slightly depending on socio-economic and demographic factors, but the effects were low. In other scales, no significant difference in AB concerning socioeconomic status (SES) was found. Authors present preliminary regression norms with percentile curves for the VABS-3 scale. Limitations. Furthermore, it would be necessary to add more information on AB in children from socially excluded communities, Roma communities and at-risk environments with low SES. For age groups over 6 years, the predictive models of percentile curves are less reliable due to smaller sample sizes and should therefore be interpreted with some caution.
