Research question: For each functional outcome measure (CANS; ABAS-3; LSP-16):
- What is the intended population?
- What populations is the measure reliable and valid for?
- How can the measure be used to maximise utility in prediction of care needs?
- What are the limitations?
- What are the risks and benefits of using the measure: as a stand alone tool? as part of a more comprehensive assessment? by a therapist who is unfamiliar with the client?
