The Allen Battery has good predictive validity: ACLS-5.2, Allen Diagnostic Module, the Routine Task Inventory & the Cognitive Performance Test all yield an Allen level score that indicates level of independence, supervision & set up required for safety & client satisfaction

2/2 to that action e.g. cooking a meal involves finding a recipe, buying ingredients, chopping veggies & cooking a meal before you even consider eating it. For some people this would be far too much and they would be unable to cut it up into manageable pieces. I hope this helps?

Thank you Sylvia. I know people value those resources but there is a cost. Do you have any thoughts on what healthcare professionals eg #OccupationalTherapists should include in supporting evidence when they write reports for our #PIP claims? Trusted advice via @advicelocal
