Introduction
Health of the Nation Outcome
Scales for People with Learning Disabilities are designed for use
with people with a learning disability with mental health needs
irrespective of the degree of their disability. HoNOS-LD has been
tested for inter-rater reliability, convergent reliability,
validity to change and acceptability in a national pilot study.
Results demonstrate a good inter-rater reliability and a level of
sensitivity to change that was acceptable to clinicians working in
the field. A final report, HoNOS-LD pack, and training instruments
are available.
