If yes, skip to 4. If No, register Upper Severe Disability and skip to end of form and record GOS-E Peds Score = 5. This item considers activities such as shopping and traveling, always in the context of age appropriate behaviors. This includes being able to plan what to buy, take care of money, and behave appropriately in public. The individual need not normally shop, but must be able to do so. A younger child must behave age appropriately in public. An older child may drive or use public transit to get around. Ability to use a taxi is sufficient, provided the person can phone for it themselves and give instruction the driver. Older children who sometimes were allowed to travel independently before the injury should be able to walk to a neighbor's house, take a school bus, ride a bike, or take public transportation.

Is the child able to shop and travel without assistance? For younger patients, does the child behave age appropriately outside the home?
