Although Socialization behaviors, as in the current study, consistently rank as the lowest adaptive behavior (Anderson et al., 2004; Owen-DeSchryver, Carr, Cale, & Blakeley-Smith, 2008), Tomanik et al. reported that parents ranked Daily Living Skills as the lowest adaptive behavior for their children with autism. Everyone involved in the lives
of children with autism should collaborate to provide consistent, appropriate training in the areas of Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization (Carothers & Taylor, 2004).
