What is the AFLS
The Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) is a criterion-referenced skills assessment tool, tracking system, and curriculum guide. AFLS is used for teaching children, adolescents, and adults with developmental disabilities the essential skills they need in order to achieve the most independent outcomes. AFLS is the most versatile assessment system available and offers learners a pathway to independence.
Functional skills are everywhere – they are present all day and exist in every setting.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or other developmental disabilities may experience success in developing these skills in some areas and difficulty in other areas. This creates the need for developing a comprehensive program that provides a pathway to navigate successful teaching and learning. Without special training or tools professionals, educators, parents, and caregivers are often looking for systems and programs that will enhance their ability to provide their learners success as they move closer to independent living environments.
The authors and developers recognized the need for autism resources, developing Functional Living Skills (FLS) systems to be practical and easy-to-understand methods of assessing and teaching independent skills. Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) has been created and includes its six interchangeable assessment protocols and a companion AFLS Guide to provide a continuum of over 1,900 skills across 66 areas.
The AFLS assessment provides a dynamic pathway for lifelong learning, regardless of where any learner is currently functioning.
Program development made simple
The Assessment of Functional Living Skills – The AFLS – empowers its users by creating a pathway for developing functional livings skills in individuals who are diagnosed with autism and/or other developmental disabilities. The AFLS development is based on years of published research and collective observations as the backbone of this system. The AFLS serves as the strongest foundation in developing programs to increase the learner’s ability to live independently.
The AFLS is comprised of The AFLS Guide and assessment protocols that assess functional, practical, and essential skills of everyday life. Although each assessment protocol can be used as a standalone assessment, the authors conceptualize all protocols as being different modules of an extended assessment that exists on a continuum spanning throughout a learner’s life in home, school, and community settings. Each module is different yet each is connected by unifying themes and overarching goals for maximizing a learner’s freedom, independence, and opportunities. Bundle multiple modules and customize the perfect assessment for your setting and situation.
