> 13, mild
9-12 moderate
8 or less, severe
Rancho 1
No repsonse: total assist
Complete absence of observable change in behavior when presented visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, or painful stim
Rancho 2
Generalized repsonse: total assist
Demonstrates generalized reflex to painful stim,
Responds to repeated auditory stim w/ increased or dec activity
Responds to external stim w/ PHYSIO changes generalized gross body movements, not purposeful vocaliziation
Response may be same regardless of type/location of stim
Repsonse may be sig delayed
Rancho level 3
Localized repsonse: total assist
Withdrawal/focalization to painful stim
Turns toward/away from audio stim
Blinks when strong light crosses visual field
Smooth pursuit
Responds to discomfort by pulling tubes/restraints
Responds inconsistently to simple commands
Responds directly related to type of stim
May respond to some persons but not others
