In each adaptive behavior subdomain, begin scoring with the cluster designated for the individual's age. Score each item 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, or DK. Score 4 if the individual almost always performs the behavior independently (that is, without physical help or reminders); almost always means 90% of the time or more. Score 3 if the individual often performs the behavior independently; often means 50%-89% of the time. Score 2 if the individual sometimes performs the behavior independently; sometimes means 10%-49% of the time. Score 1 if the individual rarely performs the behavior independently; rarely means less than 10% of the time. Score 0 if the individual never performs the behavior, or never performs it independently. If the respondent has no knowledge of the individual's performance of a given behavior, write DK for Don't Know. When computing cluster sums, count each DK as 2. However, if more than three items in subdomain are marked DK, do not score the subdomain. If an item includes a Scoring Tip, use the guidelines in the tip to help determine the appropriate score. Some subdomains do not apply to very young children. If the person being assessed is younger than the age of the first start point, do not administer that subdomain.
