Functional Capacity Assessment
Understanding function. Identifying support needs. Building the evidence for what comes next.
A Functional Capacity Assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of how disability affects a person's ability to manage everyday life. Allied Care & Co Occupational Therapists complete Functional Capacity Assessments for children, young people and adults across Queensland, providing clear clinical evidence of functional capacity, disability related support needs and recommendations to inform NDIS planning and decision making.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
A Functional Capacity Assessment, often referred to as an FCA, examines how a person's disability affects their functioning across everyday activities and environments. Rather than considering diagnosis alone, the assessment looks at what the person can do independently, where they experience difficulty and what assistance, supervision, equipment, environmental changes or other disability related supports may be required.
