Abstract
The ability of the individual to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and to live independently without supervision may be at issue in a neuropsychological evaluation. On the basis of interviews with patient, family, and staff, review of available records, behavioral observations, and test data, the neuropsychologist may need to assess the patient’s ability to care for his or her needs without assistance.
