Abstract

Nonstandardized assessment procedures serve a variety of purposes, including determining competencies in domains for which there are no standardized tests, describing performance in the context of real-world settings and activities, and exploring the effects of systematic changes in communication and cognitive demands and partner supports. This article reviews evidence on the use of nonstandardized procedures for the assessment of individuals with traumatic brain injury and offers recommendations for the use of the procedures that are supported by the available evidence.
