The Rancho Levels of Cognitive Functioning

This evaluation tool identifies patterns of recovery for people with closed-head injury. It is most appropriate for use with traumatic brain injury patients with cognitive and memory deficits who are less than one-year post onset. The scale describes behavioral characteristics and cognitive deficits associated with brain injury to help the team understand and focus on the person's abilities in designing an appropriate treatment program.
