with disabilities to have appropriate access.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): An
inmate’s abilities to perform actions that involve the management of basic bodily functions
(ADL) or activities that permit independent living (IADL). For example, an inmate with an

cognitive. Refer to Appendix A for Health Services Physical/Sensory guidance.
