Description: The Allen Diagnostic Module-2^nd Edition manual is the recently updated administration manual for 35 task-based performance assessments that use a variety of crafts with a range of activity demands. The ADM was developed by occupational therapists for use within the framework of the cognitive disabilities model. The second edition includes 14 new tasks and expanded administration guidelines to assist practitioners in using these dynamic, task-based performance assessments. Scores obtained are interpreted using the Allen scale of cognitive levels and modes of performance.
