Functional Capacity Assessments and reports play a crucial role in supporting individuals seeking access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or those undergoing plan reviews. These assessments aim to evaluate an individual's abilities, limitations, and support needs across various domains, such as mobility, communication, self-care, social interaction, and cognitive functioning. The reports generated from these assessments provide valuable information that informs NDIS planners and reviewers about the individual's current functional status and the supports required to achieve their goals and aspirations.
