ARMIDILO-S

Structured Risk Management & Safety Planning for IDD Settings

What it does
ARMIDILO-S is a structured tool used to understand risk and manageability for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a strong focus on how environments, supports, and staff practices influence safety.

Why it’s used
It helps teams move beyond restriction or exclusion by identifying practical strategies that allow individuals to live safely in shared homes, supported living, and community settings.

What it supports

  • Clear staff strategies and supervision guidance

  • Individualized safety and support protocols

  • Community and shared-living risk management

  • Consistent, trauma-informed staff responses

Best for

  • Supported living and group homes

  • Community participation planning

  • Behaviour support and diversion planning

Key outcome
Real-world safety plans that protect both the individual and others while supporting dignity, inclusion, and stability.

Socio-Sexual Knowledge & Consent Assessment Tool

What it does
The TALK-SC is a structured, interview-based assessment designed to explore an individual’s understanding of socio-sexual topics, including bodies, relationships, boundaries, consent, and safety. It allows assessors to identify what a person understands, misunderstands, or has not yet learned in a respectful and developmentally appropriate way. The tool is commonly used with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to support education, planning, and risk-reduction.

Why it’s used
TALK-SC provides a structured snapshot of socio-sexual understanding that helps teams move beyond assumptions. It identifies key knowledge gaps and strengths that inform education, boundaries, and safety-focused planning.

What it supports

  • Identification of socio-sexual knowledge gaps

  • Clarification of consent and boundary understanding

  • Tailored sexuality and relationship education

  • Support planning that reduces vulnerability and misunderstanding

Best for

  • Behaviour support, education planning and prevention frameworks

  • Supported living and community participation education

Key outcome
A practical, strengths-based profile of socio-sexual understanding that informs respectful education and safety planning, supports autonomy, and promotes safer decision-making without making predictive or diagnostic claims.

Verbal Informed Sexual Consent & Communication Assessment

What it does
The Verbal Informed Sexual Consent Assessment Tool (VISCAT) is a structured assessment designed to help clarify an individual’s ability to understand, process, and communicate about consent, sexual knowledge, boundaries, and related social information. Developed for use with persons whose communication or cognitive processing may be limited.

Why it’s used
Supporting safe social and intimate engagement requires more than guessing understanding; VISCAT provides a structured way to explore comprehension of verbal consent concepts and relevant life experiences.

What it supports

  • Clarifies verbal comprehension and expression related to consent

  • Identifies knowledge gaps about socio-sexual topics

  • Guides tailored education and safety planning

  • Informs supports that respect autonomy and reduce vulnerability

Best for

  • Diversion and education planning

  • Supported living and community participation supports

  • Consent-related education

Key outcome
A practical profile of how an individual understands and can communicate about consent and related socio-sexual topics, learning opportunities, and safety planning.

TALK-SC

VISCAT

PROFESSOR – framework for social and sexual behaviour, protective factors, and prevention planning

TALK-SC – structured conversations exploring understanding of relationships, boundaries, and safety

Trauma-Informed Functional Assessments – how past experiences influence regulation, behaviour, and engagement (non-clinical)

Behavioural Triggers & Pattern Mapping – identifying escalation patterns and environmental contributors

Capacity-to-Engage Screening – readiness for counselling, mediation, or structured programs

Environmental & Support Fit Reviews – whether expectations, settings, or supports are driving behaviour

Decision-Making & Vulnerability Screening – suggestibility, exploitation risk, and safeguarding needs

Functional Assessment of Behaviour (FAB)

A Functional Assessment of Behaviour is a structured, non-clinical process used to identify the drivers and functions of challenging behaviour within real-world environments. The assessment examines how triggers, environmental demands, communication capacity, stress responses, and reinforcement patterns interact to produce escalation. The focus is not on diagnosis or intent, but on understanding what the behaviour achieves for the individual—such as avoidance of overwhelm, regulation, safety, or unmet support needs.

In IDD and justice-adjacent contexts, Functional Behavioural Assessment supports proportionate system responses by clarifying predictable patterns, points of early intervention, and conditions that increase or reduce risk. Findings inform practical prevention strategies, staff guidance, environmental adjustments, and individualized safety and support planning for shared living and community settings. This assessment is used to reduce crisis, limit unnecessary system escalation, and align expectations and supports in a manner that promotes stability, dignity, and community safety.
