Product Details

ILS is a reliable and valid standardized approach for identifying areas of competence in forensic cases, and for determining the most appropriate living setting for adults who are experiencing a decline in cognitive functioning.

Benefits

  • Assess competency in instrumental activities of daily living.
  • Identify and compare the various areas of competence.
  • Use Cut scores to establish criterion validity with adults 65 and older who are living independently, semi-independently, or dependently.
  • Reference performance data provided on samples of individuals, 17 years of age and older, who have a psychiatric diagnosis, dementia, mental retardation, or traumatic brain injury.

Features

The performance-based results from the 68 ILS items are more objective and reliable than third-party observations or examinees' self-reports. The ILS is composed of five scales:

  • Memory/Orientation
  • Managing Money
  • Managing Home and Transportation
  • Health and Safety
  • Social Adjustment
