"The LCM is a standardized instrument designed to measure outcomes in recreational therapy. It consists of eight subscales: leisure awareness, leisure attitude, leisure skills, cultural/social behaviors, interpersonal skills, community integration skills, social contact, and community participation. It works for both screening and full client evaluation. The LCM will: objectively measure change in client functioning over time; provide a basis for evidence-based decision making; guide client-centered goal setting and recreational therapy intervention; provide a mechanism for program evaluation; help ensure compliance with CARF, JCAHO, and CCHSA standards; and provide accountability data to funding sources, administrators, and inter-disciplinary teams. The LCM has been rigorously tested with demonstrated evidence of good validity, reliability, feasibility, and sensitivity to change. It has been found useful across a variety of settings, from rehabilitation to long-term care." See the site for more info
