Moss-Pas (ID) Interview Score Forms: A Wide-Spectrum Mental Health Assessment for Adults Who Have Limited Language or Reduced Cognitive Development

The Moss-PAS (ID) is a semi-structured clinical diagnostic interview with separate sets of questions for patients and informants. It is primarily designed for diagnosis of mental health conditions in people with intellectual disability who have enough language to give at least some verbal contribution to an interview, but can also be used as an informant-only interview. The manual comes with a starter pack of 20 forms. Additional forms can be purchased in packs of 20.
