Occupational Therapy Assessments for Daily Living and Independence
Allied Health 2U provides Occupational Therapy assessments in Melbourne and across Greater Melbourne via face-to-face, mobile home visits, and telehealth. Our Melbourne Occupational Therapy Assessments can sometimes also be referred to as Functional Capacity Assessments and are generally used to ascertain an individual's functional status and needs.
Our mobile Occupational Therapists in Melbourne are able to complete these assessments through face-to-face mobile consultations or online Occupational Therapy consultations.
Occupational Therapists in Melbourne are generally the best placed allied health professionals to complete a functional capacity assessment, as they look holistically at an individual's needs. Melbourne Occupational Therapists are able to complete functional assessments for individuals living in the community with physical needs, psychosocial needs, or a combination of both.
Depending on an individual's condition, other professionals can also complete functional capacity assessments such as a mobile physiotherapist or a psychologist.
What is the purpose of an Occupational Therapy Assessment?
The main purpose of an Occupational Therapy assessment is to ascertain the level of supports an individual needs to participate in everyday life to the fullest.
Occupational Therapy assessments will also consider whether an individual may require certain equipment, technology, or modifications to enable them to live their life more independently. After an initial Occupational Therapy assessment, further assessments may be required depending on an individual's needs such as:
- Complex Home modification assessments
- Assistive Technology assessments
- Paediatric assessments (including sensory or motor)
- Mental Health Occupational therapy
How long does an Occupational Therapy Assessment take:
An Occupational Therapy assessment generally takes between 1.5 to 6 hours depending on the complexity of each case. Further time is then required for reporting and follow up, if needed.
