Personal, social and communication skills were assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, second edition (VABS-II) [26]. Adaptive behavior refers to an individual’s day-to-day activities needed for personal and social sustenance; these scales assess what a person does as opposed to what he or she should be able to do. There are four domains assessed: communication, daily living skills, socialization and motor skills. A composite score is provided across the four domains to summarize an individual’s performance. The age-corrected mean is 100 with a standard deviation of 15 with higher scores indicating higher function.
