Daily Living Skills Assessments gauge children’s basic and advanced abilities.
The Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) is an assessment, skills tracking system, and curriculum guide for skills that are essential for independence.
It assesses the basic abilities as well as more advanced skills of the child which are broken down into six assessment modules:
| Basic Living Skills | Home Skills |
| Community Participation Skills | School Skills |
| Independent Living Skills | Vocational Skills |
The Essential for Living (EFLS) is an evidence-based assessment and curriculum for those with moderate-to-severe disabilities. It tracks communication, behavior, and functional skills.
Like the AFLS, the EFL focuses on functional life skills but offers a much wider scope that allows for the identification and remediation of problem behavior.
While the AFLS is far easier to administer, the EFL guides the development of meaningful goals and objectives for individual education plans, behavior plans, and instructional programs.
Daily living skills include:
- Personal Care & Self Help – hygiene, toileting, meals, chores and other home tasks
- Socialization – leisure or play skills, interpersonal relationships (interactions with peers, siblings, and family members), conversation, non-verbal cues
- Communication – requesting, commenting, explaining
- Community & Safety – crossing the street, appropriate with others, purchasing
- Self-Direction – goal setting, self-management, problem-solving, choice making
All of our Assessments include records review, direct observation, and parent/caregiver interviews. In addition to more formal social skills, rating skills, and evaluations.
Also, a report detailing the child’s daily living skills recommended treatments, and intervention targets.
