Which assessment tool focuses on planning for individuals with IDD and is required in CILA?

The Inventory for Client and Agency Planning (ICAP) is specifically designed to assist in assessing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and is required for planning within the Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) framework. This tool evaluates an individual’s needs, supports, and life skills, which are essential for developing person-centered plans that aim to enhance the quality of life of those with IDD.

Utilizing the ICAP allows service providers to gather comprehensive information that informs personalized interventions and resource allocation. The focus on planning supports the CILA's goals to promote independence, community inclusion, and meaningful activities tailored to each individual's capabilities and aspirations.

The other assessment tools mentioned serve different purposes. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is primarily a classification system for mental health disorders, the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System evaluates adaptive functioning but is not required in CILA, and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is designed to assess cognitive abilities but does not provide the comprehensive planning framework needed for individuals with IDD within CILA.
