What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
A Functional Capacity Assessment, or FCA, is a detailed assessment usually completed by an Occupational Therapist. It helps identify a participant’s current abilities, support needs, risks, goals and recommendations for future supports.
Why an FCA May Be Needed
An FCA may support:
- NDIS plan reviews
- Funding discussions
- Assistive technology recommendations
- Supported Independent Living discussions
- Understanding everyday support needs
- Building a clearer picture of functional independence
What the Assessment May Look At
The assessment may consider personal care, mobility, household tasks, communication, cognition, community access, safety, routines and environmental barriers.
