Correlations Between Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Domains and Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language Subtests in Individuals With Higher Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders

Subtest	VABS COM	VABS SOC
VABS COM	—
VABS SOC	r = .532^**	—
CASL
Nonliteral Language	r = .480	r = .108
Pragmatic Judgment	r = .449^**	r = .371
Antonyms	r = .452	r = 124
Syntax Construction	r = .367	r = .064
Paragraph Comprehension	r = .146	r = .131
Inferences	r = .401	r = .621^**

Note: VABS = Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Sparrow, Balla, & Cicchetti, 1984); CASL = Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language (Carrow-Woolfolk, 1999); COM = Communication domain standard score; SOC = Socialization domain standard score.
