Product Details

The REAL™ (The Roll Evaluation of Activities of Life) is a useful screening instrument to help assess children’s self care abilities at home, at school, and in the community. This standardised rating scale provides information on the activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) most common among children ages 2:0–18:11.

The REAL helps measure how a child:

  • Sequences all the steps required
  • Problem-solves and makes appropriate and safe choices during the activity
