This is not a standardized test. It produces no normative scores and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or determine capacity for independent money management. All data reflect observed performance in a simulated tablet activity, which may differ from real-world performance. Interpretation is the sole responsibility of the treating clinician.

About the Money Management Simulator

The simulator presents one fixed scenario, identical every run, built on the full set of U.S. coins and bills shown as real currency imagery at practice size. Your client finds named coins and bills on a board, counts out requested amounts from a wallet (including one amount that cannot be made exactly), pays for everyday items and checks the change handed back (one purchase returns too much), reads a fictional utility bill and answers questions about it, and works through a short set of everyday money decisions. A text-message interruption arrives during the counting task, when the distraction is switched on.

All money and documents are practice materials, and the amounts carry no financial meaning. The activity gives no feedback about correctness while your client works, and the saved record states only observed facts: counts, amounts, and what was expected against what happened. Interpretation stays with you.

No client accounts, and no free-text entry by the client anywhere. Sessions are saved under your account, described only by a session code and optional initials, and delete automatically after your chosen retention period.
