We complete Functional Capacity Assessments for children and teens to understand how they are functioning across developmental, educational and everyday life domains.
Assessments may explore areas such as self-care, communication, emotional regulation, sensory processing, learning, social participation and independence. Reports are written to clearly outline current abilities, support needs and recommendations to support participation and development.
We work closely with parents, carers, schools and other professionals to ensure assessments are collaborative, meaningful and accurately reflect the child or young person’s needs.
We also complete Functional Capacity Assessments for adults across Adelaide. Adult FCAs focus on understanding functional capacity in areas such as daily living skills, communication, emotional regulation, mobility, community access, work participation and independent living.
Assessments are tailored to individual goals and circumstances and are completed with a strong focus on clarity, evidence and practical recommendations to support NDIS planning and funding decisions.
Our clinicians assess a wide range of functional areas, including daily living and self-care skills, communication and social participation, emotional regulation and coping skills, sensory processing and sensory regulation, learning, organisation and executive functioning, mobility and physical functioning, community access, and participation in work, education and vocational settings. Support is always individualised and guided by each person’s strengths, goals and priorities.
Functional Capacity Assessments help clearly identify what supports are required for a person to participate meaningfully in everyday life. By focusing on real-life activities and environments, FCAs provide practical, evidence-based recommendations that support independence, wellbeing and participation.
Our clinicians take a holistic approach, considering physical, sensory, emotional, cognitive and environmental factors that may impact function. Reports are written in line with NDIS expectations and designed to support funding decisions, planning reviews and goal setting.
We provide Functional Capacity Assessments for NDIS participants, including self-managed and plan-managed plans. Assessments may also be completed for privately funded clients where appropriate.
If you’re unsure whether a Functional Capacity Assessment is suitable for you or your child, or which funding options apply, our team can help guide you through the process.
We provide Functional Capacity Assessments from our Eastwood clinic and within everyday environments across Adelaide, depending on individual needs and assessment requirements.
We also support clients across the wider Adelaide metropolitan area where appropriate.
A Functional Capacity Assessment is a comprehensive assessment that looks at a person’s ability to participate in everyday activities across multiple areas of functioning. The assessment helps identify strengths, support needs and recommendations to support daily life and NDIS planning.
Children, teens and adults may benefit from a Functional Capacity Assessment if they require NDIS funding, a plan review, or clearer understanding of their functional support needs across daily activities.
No referral is required. You can contact us directly to enquire or book an assessment. A referral may be required if accessing services through specific funding pathways.
Yes. We support NDIS participants with self-managed and plan-managed plans. We also offer privately funded Functional Capacity Assessments.
