• estimate cognitive level with 3 leather lacing stitches

• 6 scale level

arnadotti OT neurobehavioral evaluation (A-ONE)

• adult population with cognitive/perceptual deficits

• structured observations of ADL and mobility skills are performed to detect underlying neurobehavioral dysfunction

behavioral inattention test

• adults with post acquired brain injury with suspected unilateral neglect

• examines presence of neglect and impact on functional task performance

  • 9 activity based subtests

• higher score = higher EF deficit

kettle test (KT)

• adults post stroke, mild dementia, or healthy older adults

mini mental state examination (MMSE) or folstein test

• SCREENING tool for cognitive impairment most commonly used to screen for neurocognitive disorders

  • orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, language

• score lower than 23 indicates cognitive impairment

montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA)

  • requires certification to administer

• assesses

  • attention & concentration, EF, memory, language, visuoconstruction skills, conceptual thinking calculation, orientation

• score

  • 26+ = normal

  • less than 10 = severe

  • 10-17 = moderate

  • 18-25 = mild

  • assess form and color constancy, object completion, figure ground, body image, inattention, spatial awareness

• utilizes deficits specific tasks in isolation from ADL tasks

weekly calendar planning activity (WCPA)

• adolescents to older adults with suspected executive function deficits with acquired brain injury
