Christian, Sorry, I missed your question way back when.
I think an Allen Cognitive Level assessment is the BEST place to start. Verbal and subjective tests will not tell you what the person is cognitively-functionally able to do. A person needs to be at least 4.8 to succeed in supportive employment with a job coach.

hi everyone,
i was just wondering if anyone knows of any evaluation tools as predictors
of employability for chronic mentally ill clients. i'm currently working
with clients who have chronic mental illness living in board and care
facilities. i lead a lot of group activities focusing on independent living
skills. some of my client's goal is to be able to work and live
independently however, i have very little resources on evaluation tools i
can use to assess their readiness. if anyone has any information or
resources, please email me back. thank you!
ps. has anyone ever used the Pre-vocational Evaluation of Rehabilitation
Potential - this eval tool was developed at Northville State Hospital in
Michigan.
=)
