A Functional Capacity Assessment is a type of assessment used to evaluate an individual's ability/functional capacity to perform daily activities and tasks.

It's essentially a detailed assessment of a person's functional abilities, helping determine the level and type of support they may need to achieve their goals and live independently. Typically, an FCA will be completed prior to entry into the NDIS scheme, if someones needs change throughout their plan, or prior to a re-assessment.

Whichever the case, our occupational therapist here at Bright Path Therapy have exceptional talent in this area.

A Home and Living assessment is a comprehensive process used to determine eligibility for NDIS funding for home and living options. It involvesevaluating a person's needs, circumstances, and goals related to their home and daily living. This assessment helps identify the most suitable living arrangements, supports, and accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible.

In other words, it's a way to assess an individual's functional abilities, identify their needs, and plan for their future, ensuring they can achieve their goals while maximising their independence. 

This is a specific type of assessment used to evaluate and determine the most appropriate equipment needs for an individual with a disability to enhance their independence and daily living.
