Large Allen Cognitive Level Screen For the Visually impaired- LACLS
When determining a patient's ability to work and think independently and learn basic skills using this leather sewing square can be more effective than asking questions and trying to decipher what help the patient truly needs. The Large Allen Cognitive Level Screen is simple and rewarding for patients. Visual impairment often accompanies aging patients that also suffer from Dementia and Alzheimers. It is vital to know if someone can’t pass the test due to actual lack of ability or if they simply cannot work with the standard size test. That is why it is essential to have the larger sized test to assess those who are visually impaired.
