An Occupational Therapy Functional Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines a person’s ability to perform daily activities safely and independently following an injury, illness, or disability. Conducted by a licensed Occupational Therapist, this assessment helps identify physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that may be limiting a person's function at home, work, or in the community.

• At Vitality, the assessment typically includes a detailed interview, observation of task performance, and standardized testing when appropriate. The Occupational Therapist evaluates areas such as mobility, self-care, household management, communication, memory, concentration, and pain management.
• The goal of the assessment is to gain a clear understanding of how the individual’s condition affects their daily life and to develop a tailored rehabilitation plan. The results may also be used to support insurance claims, return-to-work planning, home modification recommendations, or long-term care needs.
• Whether you’re recovering from a motor vehicle accident, surgery, or managing a chronic condition, a Functional Assessment provides the foundation for effective, personalized therapy that supports independence and improves quality of life.
