The Kohlman Evaluation of Living Skills (KELS) is a valid and reliable assessment that measures a client's ability to perform instrumental activities of daily living, such as managing money and using technology. It utilizes both interview- and performance-based items to assess the client's abilities. The other assessments listed may assess activities of daily living in general, but they do not specifically assess instrumental activities of daily living as comprehensively as the KELS.
