Functional Capacity Assessments
Understanding Your Abilities, Supporting Your Goals.
At DrivEnable OT Services, we provide comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) to evaluate an individual’s ability to manage everyday activities and participate meaningfully in home, community, education, and work environments.
Our assessments are designed to identify strengths, challenges, support needs, and opportunities for greater independence. We take a person-centred approach, ensuring that each assessment reflects the individual’s unique circumstances, goals, and aspirations.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
A Functional Capacity Assessment is a detailed evaluation conducted by an Occupational Therapist to understand how a person’s disability, injury, or health condition impacts their daily functioning. The assessment examines various aspects of everyday life, including:
- • Personal care and self-management
- • Daily living skills and routines
- • Mobility and community access
- • Communication and social participation
- • Learning and employment capacity
- • Home safety and independence
- • Emotional and cognitive functioning
- • Support needs and informal supports
Our Assessment Process
We gather information through:
- • Individual interviews and discussions
- • Observation of daily activities
- • Standardised assessment tools
- • Review of relevant reports and documentation
- • Collaboration with family members, carers, support workers, and other professionals when appropriate
Following the assessment, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, recommendations, and evidence-based supports that can help improve functional outcomes and quality of life.
