Refine your assessment skills for NDIS participants with psychosocial disabilities in our comprehensive workshop
In this workshop, we take a closer look at OT functional assessment processes, and standardised and non-standardised assessment tools, for NDIS participants with psychosocial disability due to mental health conditions. We’ll unpack the OT assessment toolbox and explore matching assessments to client need. AND we’ll discuss how to incorporate assessment results into your functional assessment reports, in a manner that is compatible with NDIS concepts, principles and expectations.

The workshop was highly insightful and provided a good overview of how to conduct FCA specifically tailored to individuals with psychosocial disabilities. This workshop is essential for OTs working within the NDIS space and will help OTs advocate effectively for their clients via reports.

Great workshop with insights into which assessments to consider using when completing Functional Capacity Assessments for Psychosocial disability. My key take away make sure the participant has a good understanding of what the assessment entails and i think OTs that work in mental health or those who are just starting to would benefit from this workshop.
