General Information: Potential participants must have a genuine interest in using the device to maintain and/or increase their
options for communication and social interactions with others. The referring provider must assess the potential participant using the UCLA-3 Item Loneliness Scale.
The three questions below measure three dimensions of loneliness: relational connectedness, social connectedness and self–perceived isolation.
The responses to the questions will be scored as follows:

The score for each individual question is tallied together to give you a possible range of scores from 3 to 9.
