2 Before you start

You have:

  • read Our Guidelines – Applying to the NDIS
  • read the article Understand functional capacity assessments
  • read the article Create a new functional capacity assessment case.

3 Understand and record Vineland 2 and 3

Vineland measures a person’s adaptive behaviour. It can be used for diagnosis support for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities.

Vineland 2

Vineland 2 assesses the personal and social skills needed for everyday living.

It assesses many domains. It provides an overall adaptive behaviour composite. The four core Vineland 2 domains are:

  • communication
  • daily living skills
  • socialisation
  • motor skills.

Use the Vineland 2 assessment information the participant provides you with, and the table below. This will determine the adaptive behaviour composite score to record in PACE:

Category Option in PACE
Profound Adaptive behaviour composite 25 and below
Severe Adaptive behaviour composite 26 - 40
Moderate Adaptive behaviour composite 41 - 55
Mild Adaptive behaviour composite 56+

Vineland 3

This is a revised third version of the Vineland 2. It provides an overall adaptive behaviour composite. The three core domains are:

  • communication
  • daily living skills
  • socialisation.

Vineland 3 also offers optional motor skills and maladaptive behaviour domains for situations where these areas are of concern.

Record a Vineland assessment in PACE

An allied health professional will complete the assessment. You will enter the results into PACE.
