Abstract
Examined the relationship between the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) test performance, auditory matching, and communication ability. 40 Ss (aged 20-42 yrs) with developmental disabilities were assessed on the ABLA test and on 4 auditory matching tasks. In addition, a care worker for each S completed the Communication Ability Screening Survey and the portion of the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales that assessed communicative ability. To examine whether adding auditory matching tasks to the ABLA test would increase its correlation with communication ability, a forward multiple regression analysis was used. For Ss classified at or above ABLA Level 4, the addition of auditory matching tasks to ABLA Levels 4 and 6 differentiated individual communicative ability to a greater extent than did the ABLA test alone.
