A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) analyses your functional performance in areas of self-care and general day to day activities in and around the home.
It involves a thorough interview, standardized assessments, and observations to evaluate an individual’s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional functioning. The FCA considers various factors, including the individual’s ability to perform activities of daily living, manage their behavior, communicate effectively, participate in social and community activities, and access and maintain employment or education. The psychologist synthesizes the findings from the assessment to determine the individual’s functional capacity and provide recommendations for appropriate supports and interventions. The FCA plays a crucial role in ensuring that individuals with disability receive the necessary support to enhance their independence, participation, and well-being.
