Skill Assessment are evaluations designed to measure an individual’s abilities in various functional areas. These assessments typically focus on domains such as social skills, coping skills, self-help skills, language skills, learning skills, daily living skills, and communication skills. The goal is to identify strengths and areas for development to guide interventions.
Example
A therapist conducts a skill assessment on a child to measure their ability to communicate basic needs. The assessment covers language skills, such as understanding and using words to ask for help, and daily living skills, such as independently putting on shoes. The results help the therapist design a personalized intervention plan.
