Assessment Tools From ASHA Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS) Carol M. Frattali, PhD Cynthia K. Thompson, PhD Audrey L. Holland, PhD Cheryl Wohl Michelle Ferketic, MA The ASHA FACS assists you in measuring and recording the functional communication of adults with speech, language, and cognitive communication disorders. The ASHA FACS was found to be a reliable, valid, and sensitive measure with two populations: adults with aphasia resulting from left hemisphere stroke and adults with cognitive communication disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury. The measure, which comprises 43 items, assesses functional communication in four areas: • social communication • communication of basic needs • reading, writing, and number concepts • daily planning The ASHA FACS is written in language understandable to policy makers, payers, and other consumers. Includes: • a 117-page manual • a CD version to help you automatically tabulate the measures for recording incremental client assessments in Microsoft Excel for PC or Apple/Macintosh • a paper-and-pencil version of the measure with score summary and profile forms that purchasers can copy • a rating key on a 5” × 7” card (updated in 2003) • an index (on CD in HTML) of ICD-9-CM codes Item #0111969 $124 ASHA member $165 ASHA certified nonmember Quality of Communication Life Scale (ASHA QCL) Diane R. Paul, PhD Carol M. Frattali, PhD Audrey L. Holland, PhD Cynthia K. Thompson, PhD Carol J. Caperton Sarah C. Slater The ASHA QCL emerged from a widespread need for a reliable and valid instrument designed specifically for assessing the quality of communication life for adults with communication disorders. Quality of communication life can be defined as the extent to which a person’s communication acts, as constrained within the boundaries drawn by personal and environmental factors, and as filtered through his or her own perspective, to allow meaningful participation in life situations. The ASHA QCL captures information about the impact of a communication disorder on an adult’s relationships; communication; interactions; participation in social, leisure, work, and education activities; and overall quality of life. This product is intended to provide information about the psychosocial, vocational, and educational effects of having a communication impairment. It can be used to assist with treatment planning, prioritization of goals, counseling, and documentation of outcomes. The ASHA QCL may be used to supplement other measures of impairment or functional communication. It is an ideal complement to the ASHA FACS. The average time to complete the scale is 15 minutes.
