The phrase signifies the action of acquiring, without cost, a digital document in Portable Document Format (PDF) that contains the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS). This assessment tool is frequently used in the field of applied behavior analysis to evaluate the language and adaptive skills of individuals, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. The desired outcome is to obtain a readily accessible, electronic version of the ABLLS protocol.
Accessibility to this document is important for educators, therapists, and caregivers who rely on it for creating individualized education programs and tracking progress. Historically, the ABLLS protocol may have been exclusively available through purchase. The ease and speed of obtaining a downloadable copy increases its utility, potentially leading to more frequent and consistent application of the assessment.
