Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of an NDIS Occupational Therapist?
Occupational Therapists are Allied Health professionals who enable people to engage in the occupations that bring meaning and purpose to their lives. They achieve this by working with participants to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want, need, or are expected to do; or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.
What is a NDIS functional capacity assessment?
A National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) functional capacity assessment is an evaluation that is used to determine a person’s level of functioning in various areas of daily living. The purpose of this Occupational Therapy assessment is to gather information about the person’s abilities, limitations, and support needs, which will inform their NDIS plan and the types of support and services they may be eligible to receive.
During an assessment, our Occupational Therapist will observe the person’s ability to perform various tasks and activities, ask questions about their health and medical history, and gather information from their family members or carers. The information gathered during the assessment is then used to develop a detailed report that outlines the person’s functional abilities and limitations, as well as their goals and aspirations.
The functional capacity assessment is an important part of the NDIS planning process, as it helps to ensure that the person receives the right types of support and services to meet their individual needs and goals.
