A functional capacity assessment is a report, usually written by an occupational therapist, that sets out what you can and cannot do day to day. It looks at areas like self care, mobility, communication and social interaction. The NDIA uses it to help decide eligibility and to work out what supports are reasonable and necessary. A clear, detailed assessment can strongly shape the plan you receive.
