A follow-up program for high-risk infants included the administration of the Short and Early Develop ment Forms of the Scales of Independent Behavior, the Survey Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development to 66 1-year-olds and their parents. Results suggested comparability between adaptive scales in terms of standard scores, but not age scores. Moderate to high correlations were found between each adaptive scale and the Bayley men tal and motor scales. One possible advantage of the Vineland over the Scales of Independent Behavior was discussed.
