| Annotation | Previous editions of this resource guide were published by Jessica Kingsley in 1999 and 2002. The Pool Activity Level (PAL) Instrument is based on the underpinning principle that people with cognitive impairment also have abilities, and that occupation is key to unlocking the potential for such abilities. The PAL Instrument has become the framework for activity-based care systems in a variety of health and social care settings for people with cognitive impairments. Other contributors (Jennifer Wenborn, David Challis and Martin Orrell) comment on the reliability and validity of the PAL Checklist. This resource includes the Instrument, a blank copy which may be photocopied for use by those working with people with cognitive impairment. Also included are activities and checklists, and guidance for carrying out these activities according to ability level. (RH). |
