KEVAS

KEVAS provides a flexible testing format which can be adapted on an individual basis. Because the testing is self-paced, clients are allowed to take the assessment test in a comfortable manner, without performance time limits.

Once the highest skill level is determined, KEVAS utilizes a "goodness of fit" procedure which identifies occupational options that match with the client's interests and skills.

The overall outcome of the KEVAS assessment provides a summary of functional strengths and weaknesses, as well as appropriate interventions, instructional modifications, remedial needs and occupational matches.
