Baseline And Follow-Up
Comparable administrations can be reviewed over time when the same instrument structure supports comparison.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not substitute clinician ratings, add custom domains, create goals automatically, or interpret incomplete responses as complete profiles.
Is ALA completed by the practitioner?
No. ALA is a self-report from the person with aphasia, though the practitioner may provide supported administration when needed.
Can partial responses produce a profile?
Only where the instrument supports partial scoring. Otherwise partial responses remain incomplete.
Does assistance change the meaning of responses?
No. Assistance should support access while preserving that the responses are the person’s own self-report.
What is saved from the demo?
The tool itself and selected administration settings are saved. Sample responses and fictional profile results do not carry into real client data.
