Which assessment tool is designed for clients with intellectual disabilities?

The Reading-Free Vocational Interest Inventory is specifically designed to assess the vocational interests of individuals who may have intellectual disabilities. This tool takes into account the challenges these clients might face regarding reading and comprehension, thus allowing them to express their interests in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them. By eliminating the need for reading skills, this inventory provides a valid measure of interests that can guide decision-making in vocational paths.

In contrast, other assessment tools have limitations when it comes to use with this population. The Career Assessment Inventory and the Strong Interest Inventory often involve language and reading comprehension that may not be suitable for individuals with significant intellectual disabilities. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is primarily focused on measuring cognitive ability rather than vocational interests and is not tailored to the specific needs of clients with intellectual disabilities.
