Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the relationship between the components of executive functions and the areas of adaptive behavior. The sample consisted of (12) children with autism spectrum disorder who were selected from the Syrian Organization for  Persons with Disabilities (Amal) in Damascus, and their ages ranged between (6 to 10 years). The descriptive analytical approach was used to collect and analyze data, where the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) were applied. The results of the study showed:

- There is a positive and significant correlation between executive functions and the total score of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale.

- There is a negative and statistically significant correlation between executive functions and the maladaptive behavior dimension of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale.
