About Us
We are a group of occupational therapists who share a passion for serving the needs of persons whose differing cognitive abilities compromise participation in valued activities and occupations. We formed the ACLS and LACLS Committee as a non-profit organization to further this passion and our mission to support compassionate care by the community of international healthcare professionals who serve clients, their families and caregivers. This organization holds the copyright for the Manual of the fifth version of the Allen Cognitive Level Screen and the Large Allen Cognitive Level Screen and publishes the manual along with other materials related to the cognitive disabilities model. As the board of directors, we are also committed to education, development and research activities that promote informed and empathic use of this tool and the cognitive disabilities model.
