Within ACL 5 High, having easy access to long-term memory results in the person being able to anticipate and prevent errors which may result in a fall. They are better able to understand risks like climbing up unsteady ladders.

Within ACL 5 High, they pay attention to secondary consequences of surface appearances and spatial fit. They know that shiny surfaces mean slipperiness and will adjust their gait. Within ACL 5.8, they will also know how to maneuver large objects so as to not bump things nor cause damage.

Hair & Nail Care

Within ACL 5 High, the person understands the consequences of keeping appointments.

Within ACL 5 High, the person can use fine motor adjustments to cut nails more safely and with more ease than within ACL 5 Low.

Oral Hygiene

Within ACL 5 High, the person is able to use new equipment by following verbal or written instructions.

Grooming

The person, within ACL 5 High, is able to read labels, follow instructions and seek clarification of new products or procedures, if required.

Within ACL 5 High, the person will respond to secondary consequences of tangible properties. They can take a hint and follow verbal directions without a demonstration. They can copy others around them for social etiquettes. They can follow written directions on how to use adaptive aids. They have a more efficient ability to use modified aids to compensate for reduced hand function.

Intangible properties such as calories may be ignored.

Within ACL 5 High, the person is able to use aids requiring adjustments. In ACL 5.6, secondary consequences of surface appearances like keeping the floor dry and not slippery makes sense to the person. In ACL 5.8, secondary consequences of spatial fit like not keeping things precariously balanced or in positions where they can trip over, now makes sense to them. They may still require reminders to avoid errors with abstract concepts like keeping liquids away from electrical appliances.

Within ACL 5 High, they may learn to use adaptive equipment to perform safe and effective bathing with training in precautions. In ACL 5.6, they may prevent harmful effects to surface appearance by wiping up slippery floors. In ACL 5.8, they will extend bath aids to clean back and feet, with standby / minimum assistance to remember safety precautions, attend to unseen surface / spatial properties (e.g., dirt between toes, area on back), and assist with bathing areas that require persistence with tedious adjustments (depending on level of physical disability).

The ability to perceive secondary consequences to concrete situations allows the person to manage new and unfamiliar clothing items. They are able to adjust for difficult to fit items. They can prevent problems by discarding poor fitting clothes.

The person can do all their self-care activities independently. Within ACL 5 High, they can look for solutions. They can follow verbal and written instructions to solve problems.

These predictions should only be treated as a suggestion. There are many confounding factors which often skew these predictions. Factors which often affect predictions are a person's procedural memory, individual differences, physical abilities, age of onset and variation in the support provided by caregivers.

Within ACL 5 High, the person will need the following assistance:

The person can use their senses to pay attention to finer levels of sensory information. The person links these finer pieces of information to their past long-term experiences. They can use this information to prevent secondary negative consequences in concrete situations.

The person's ability to use movement information is more refined. They will also stop to think about the secondary consequences spontaneously. This use of movement information helps prevent errors and negative secondary consequences in concrete situations.
