A functional capacity assessment may encompass some or all of the following components, though it's not mandatory for all cases:
- Child and Family Interview
The therapist will gather information from the child's parents or caregivers about the child's medical history, developmental milestones, and any concerns or challenges they may be experiencing.
- Observations
The therapist will observe the child's physical movements, gross and fine motor skills, balance, coordination, posture, and overall functional abilities.
- Standardised Assessments
Various standardised assessment tools may be used to evaluate specific aspects of the child's functional capacity, such as motor skills, sensory processing, visual perception, and self-care abilities.
- Play-Based Assessments
For younger children or those with developmental delays, play-based assessments may be used to observe the child's interactions, problem-solving abilities, and social skills.
- Sensory Integration Assessment
If the child is experiencing sensory processing challenges, the therapist may conduct a sensory integration assessment to understand how the child processes and responds to sensory information from their environment.
- Functional Activities
The child may be asked to perform age-appropriate functional activities or tasks, such as dressing, feeding, writing, or playing, to assess their abilities and identify any difficulties they may have.
- Endurance and Tolerance Assessment
The therapist may evaluate the child's endurance and tolerance for physical activities and identify any fatigue or limitations.
- Parent/Caregiver and Teacher Input
Input from parents, caregivers, and teachers is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child's functional abilities in various settings.
- School-Based or Educational Assessments
If relevant, the therapist may collaborate with teachers or school personnel to understand the child's functional capacity in an educational setting and identify any accommodations or modifications needed.
- Comprehensive Report
After completing the assessment, the therapist will compile the findings and recommendations into a comprehensive report. This report may include a summary of the child's strengths, challenges, specific needs, and recommendations for therapy, interventions, or educational support.
