Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
A two-part, behaviorallys- anchored assessment designed to assess how a client may function in task-oriented and social interactional settings.
The Task Oriented Assessment (TOA) utilizes five tasks in which twelve functional parameters in cognitive, performance, and affective areas are rated. Observations about specific cognitive and neuropsychological functioning are also made during each task. The Social Interaction Scale (SIS) measures the clients lsevel of social competency through assessment of seven different areas of social functioning via observation in five different social situations. These situations are observed in activities that are generally part of any therapeutic milieu program. The BaFPE has been used in inpatient and outpatient settings to evaluate the functional performance of psychiatric, brain injured, geriatric, or developmentally disabled adults as well as adolescents in treatment, discharge planning, documentation, and outcome studies. The manual includes reliability and validity studies as well as a bibliography of over 30 publications of research studies, addressing the continued validation of the BaFPE populations. The kit includes a loose leaf binder containing a manual of background information, directions for administering the TOA and the SIS, administration forms, ratings guides and worksheets. Also includes a set of design blocks and associated items.
