[Adta] assessment advice please

[Sue Hobbs]

  I am preparing a proposal to study the effects of expressive dance on the self-concept and social skills of developmentally disabled adults.  Can you recommend an instrument we can use for pre and post testing of these individuals?  (Their disability is mild to moderate)
   
  I have never done this before and am not familiar with the tests.  We need something that has a low risk of embarassment for participants who cannot read the questions themselves and need to be interviewed.  
   
  So far I have looked into the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales published by Pearson and the Quality of Life Questionnaire which I found on the American Association for the Mentally Retarded.  We are also interested in knowing if there are any tests we can use that are not owned by publishers that we can access free of charge.
   
  I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
  Sue
