AFLS Independent Living Skills Protocol

FLS, 2015. Softcover. New. Along with the foundational AFLS Guide, six additional Protocols assess functional, practical, and essential skills of independent everyday life for persons with social and developmental issues. Each assessment protocol can be used alone, but the protocols are conceptualized as parts of an extended assessment spanning a continuum throughout a learnerÕs life in home, school, and community settings. Each distinct module is connected by unifying themes and overarching goals for maximizing a learnerÕs freedom, independence, and opportunities. Different economical bundles are available.
