FLCI: Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory - Complete Kit

Ages: Adult
Testing Time: 30 minutes
Administration: Individual

Essential for professionals who see moderate and severe dementia patients, the FLCI is a standardized instrument for evaluating functional communication. Easy to administer, this test takes approximately 30 minutes and no special training is required. Based on years of research, the FLCI is useful in evaluating a client's abilities in these areas:

• greeting and naming
• answering questions
• writing
• sign comprehension
• object-to picture matching
• word reading and comprehension
• following commands
• pantomime, gesture and conversation

Determine a client's baseline level of function, the severity of the patient's dementia, and the client's preserved functional skills. Make comparisons of examinee's performance to performance profiles of other patients at different levels of severity.

Information provided by test results is crucial for MDS reports, writing treatment goals and functional management plans, discharge summaries, and counseling caregivers.
