Functional Capacity & Participation

Our therapy focuses on real-world outcomes, helping people apply the skills they develop in therapy to their everyday lives.

We work across home, school, work and community environments to build functional capacity, confidence, participation and independence.

Assessments

Assessments we complete

Comprehensive assessments across functional capacity, housing, assistive technology, home modifications, development, sensory processing and mobility.

  • Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs)

    A comprehensive assessment of a person's functional capacity across everyday activities and environments, including their strengths, limitations and support needs. Our FCAs provide evidence-based recommendations to support NDIS planning and identify the level and type of supports required to maximise independence, participation and functional outcomes.

  • Housing Functional Capacity Assessments

    A comprehensive assessment of how a person's disability impacts their ability to live independently and participate in everyday life within a home environment. We assess functional capacity, daily living support needs, safety, accessibility, living preferences and the level of assistance required to support an appropriate living arrangement. Our reports can provide evidence to support applications and funding considerations for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), Individualised Living Options (ILO) and other appropriate housing and support arrangements.

  • Assistive Technology Assessments

    An assessment to identify and recommend assistive technology that addresses disability-related functional limitations and supports independence, safety and participation. This may include equipment ranging from low-cost everyday aids through to more complex assistive technology such as mobility, seating, showering and pressure care equipment. Recommendations are based on individual functional needs, goals, environment and the intended outcomes of the equipment.

  • Home Modification Assessments

    Assessment of how a person's disability impacts their ability to safely and independently access and use their home. We identify environmental barriers and recommend appropriate home modifications to improve safety, accessibility, independence and participation.

  • Paediatric & Developmental Assessments

    Assessment of a child or young person's functional skills and development across everyday environments, including self-care, motor skills, play, sensory processing, cognition, communication and participation. We identify areas impacting independence and participation and provide practical recommendations and therapy goals.

  • Sensory & Functional Assessments

    Assessment of how sensory processing, regulation and functional skills impact a person's ability to participate in everyday activities. We consider sensory needs alongside functional capacity to develop practical strategies and recommendations that support participation across home, school, work and community environments.

  • Mobility, Seating & Positioning Assessments

    Assessment of mobility, postural support, seating and positioning needs to identify equipment and strategies that support safety, comfort, function and participation. This may include assessment and trials of manual and powered wheelchairs, seating systems, cushions and other mobility equipment.
