    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.

    Note: Examiners will need to provide a telephone, telephone book, some money, an envelope, scratch paper, pen, pencil, and stopwatch.

    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
