Functional Capacity Assessments for Children: Building Everyday Independence Early

Functional capacity assessments (FCAs) play a vital role in supporting children with developmental delays or disabilities. By evaluating their ability to perform daily activities, occupational therapists identify areas where capacity support is needed.

Through these capacity evaluations, children gain access to therapy that helps develop motor skills, communication abilities, and independence. For families navigating the NDIS, FCAs provide crucial documentation for securing funding.

Behaviour support strategies tailored through FCAs enable children to thrive in educational and social settings. With this early intervention, families and therapists work together to create brighter futures.

By addressing functional needs early, FCAs empower children and their families to take confident steps toward everyday independence and lifelong success.
