			<p>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.</p>

			<h3>Benefits</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Assess competency in instrumental activities of daily living.</li>
				<li>Identify and compare the various areas of competence.</li>
				<li>Use Cut scores to establish criterion validity with adults 65 and older who are living independently, semi-independently, or dependently.</li>
				<li>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.</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>The performance-based results from the 68 ILS items are more objective and reliable than third-party observations or examinees&#39; self-reports. The ILS is composed of five scales:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Memory/Orientation</li>
				<li>Managing Money</li>
				<li>Managing Home and Transportation</li>
				<li>Health and Safety</li>
				<li>Social Adjustment</li>
			</ul>
