Functional Capacity Assessment
When may one request a Functional Capacity Assessment?
Who can complete a Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)?
Typically, Occupational Therapists will complete an FCA. For clients with a psychological condition, a psychologist often has a better appreciation of the relevant symptoms and their functional impact. Therefore, our psychologist has effectively completed FCA and reports for these clients.
How does a functional capacity assessment capture one’s support needs?
A typical assessment involves the understanding of the individual’s capacity in the functional domains of communication, social interactions, self care or personal activities of daily living, self management or instrumental activities of daily living, mobility, and learning. Through interviews, observations, and the execution of standardised assessment tools, the assessor provides a clinical picture regarding the level of capacity or independence of an individual. This enables the assessor to provide recommendations regarding the support needs of the individual. Supports that are to be funded by the NDIS must meet the “Reasonable and Necessary” criteria. For detailed explanation of this criteria, please visit NDIS’s website.
