A functional capacity assessment looks at adaptive behaviour across the skills that matter for everyday life, including communication, social interaction, self-care, self-management, and mobility.
This kind of assessment can help describe how a disability affects someone’s day-to-day functioning, and identify where extra support would make the biggest difference, including for NDIS applications and planning.
Our assessments draw on multiple sources of information, including clinical interviews, standardised measures of adaptive behaviour, direct observation, and where helpful, input from family members, carers, or other support people.
Benefits of an ADHD Assessment
A functional capacity assessment can help build a clearer picture of someone’s strengths and support needs across everyday life. It’s often helpful for children, teens, or adults living with a disability, developmental condition, or the effects of injury or illness, and can support applications for NDIS funding or other services.
