Hi! I've used the KELS and like the way it uses real life items to test people's ability to live safely. Some of the test items are dated though - especially the safety pictures and the prices on the items to be "purchased." It always amazes me how differently people score on the test than I expect they will!

The KELS can be purchased from AOTA.

Lehman, PT, PhD -----Original Message----- From: Josh Golden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 3/2/2005 2:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NeuroPT ] Pathfinding/Wayfinding We are trying to improve our evaulation and treatment of pathfinding/wayfinding impairments. If anyone has any helpful info or feels they can answer any of the below questions, we would appreciate it. 1. Is there an assessment, or formalized process that addresses pathfinding and community safety? (Besides the Community Integration Program) 2. Which discipline(s) address pathfinding and community safety issues-- For example, when a patient is judged safe to leave the (inpatient rehab) unit wihtout supervision, who helps make the decision and how? 3. Do you have or know of any good pathfinding/wayfinding treatment plans or progressions that have been successful?
