About the Package

Child and Adolescent Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)

The functional assessment is a complete assessment of how your child is functioning in their everyday activities at school and home environments. The Brilliant Minds Psychology functional assessment will assess fine motor skills (shoelaces, dressing, writing, manipulating objects) gross motor skills (running, balancing, jumping, gymnastic movements) and visual perception skills (hand-eye coordination, figureground discrimination). Your Occupational therapist will then use the information gathered through this assessment to provide intervention recommendations and assess adaptive functioning. This package is suitable for NDIS participants who are applying for NDIS funding or who are about to review their current NDIS funding. Assessments used in this package will vary depending on the age of the individual being assessed. Questionanires that are typically sent out as a part of this package include the Vinelands, WHODAS, BRIEF, SRS, Sensory Profile.
Results from this assessment cover all domains required for NDIS funding applications including Communication, emotional regulation and behaviour, cognition, self-care and self-management, learning, mobility and social interactions. This package is suitable for participants who have a current diagnosis, as this is not a diagnostic assessment. This package is suitable for children and teens. Our OT Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) are tailored to help you access the NDIS funding and supports that empower you to live independently and reach your goals.
