Aim: To explore the feasibility of using an adaptive behaviour profile (ABP) assessment generated from a well‐known measure—the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (VABS‐II)—as an instrument for outcome measures in adolescents and adults with Dravet syndrome. Method: We administered the VABS‐II to 35 adolescents and adults with Dravet syndrome (15 males; mean age 24 years, SD 8 years, range: 12–46 years) and collected epilepsy history and neurological features at the time of assessment. We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of VABS‐II raw scores and performed cluster analysis to identify different subgroups. We then explored possible relationships between clinical and epilepsy features, ABPs, and age. Results: Most participants obtained the minimum standard scores in the various VABS‐II subdomains, while the raw score analysis outlined interindividual and intraindividual differences among skills. We found two subpopulations: one with a 'lower' ABP and one with a 'higher' ABP, corresponding respectively to individuals in whom myoclonic seizures or generalized spike‐and‐wave activity were present ('complete phenotype') or absent ('incomplete phenotype') on electroencephalography. Interpretation: This study further delineates the natural history of Dravet syndrome. The assessment of an ABP through the VABS‐II raw score analysis provides a means by which to illustrate profiles of adaptive behaviour in adolescents and adults with Dravet syndrome but shows limitations related to poor sensitivity in measuring fine clinical details. There is a need for new and more specific tools to monitor patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. What this paper adds: Most adults with Dravet syndrome obtained the minimum standard scores in the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (VABS‐II) subdomains.The VABS‐II raw score analysis showed interindividual and intraindividual variability.Individuals with myoclonic seizures and/or generalized spike‐and‐wave activity on electroencephalography showed a worse adaptive behaviour profile.
