Note. The individual scores and summative scores for each R.A.I.S.E. principle, as well as the total score, are indicated. For a single criterion, an assessment could score either a 0 (criterion unfulfilled) or 1 (criterion fulfilled). As such, the range of possible scores for an R.A.I.S.E. principle was 0–2. Finally, the total score reflects the sum of all scores, with a possible range of 0–10. The criterion for each of the R.A.I.S.E. principles was as follows:

R1: Does the assessment contain questions that allow the clinician to better understand the client as a person?

R2: Do the instructions of the assessment allow for the clinician to meaningfully respond to what the client is communicating?

A1: Does the administration allow the clinician to tailor scripts or instructions to the client?

A2: Does the administration allow the clinician to provide cues or prompts in order to identify strengths and support needs?

I1: Does the assessment allow for the clinician to provide feedback to the client?

I2: Can the client provide feedback to the clinician for the clinician to adjust their prompts or explain their purpose?

S1: Does the assessment promote advocacy for the client by asking questions that determine the client's personal strengths, challenges, or needs?

S2: Will the assessment results provide the clinician with information that helps advocate for services and supports for the client and family?

E1: Can the instructions of the assessment be modified for a client's needs?

E2: Does the assessment remain valid if the client's response modality changes?
