Contact form

What assessments will we do?

This is a great question and hard to answer, as it’s tailored to you But some common ones we usually do are

  • An assessment specific to your presentation/ disability or diagnosis

  • Functional questionnaire e.g. WHODAS/ LSP-16

  • Skills specific assessment Others that may further explain the impact of your diagnosis

What will we talk about?

  • The impact of your disability on day to day life

  • How NDIS funding might help with getting you the right supports

  • What things you might find difficult as a result of your disability

  • Talking about Psychological skills like

    • Organising

    • Planning

    • Learning

    • Memory and Attention

    • Emotional regulation

Additional information:

I will usually ask for any other assessments or contribution from your support team or other allied health members as it helps not to double up on assessments or so you don’t have to explain your entire background over and over again

What is it?

This is an assessment that can support your application to the NDIS to access support. This will focus on the psychological, functional impact of your disability on your day to day life. Whilst it’s not a guarantee for funding, an assessment from a Registered Psychologist can be helpful.

Assessment Process- NDIS/Functional Capacity

  • This 60 interview allows us to get a little more insight into your goals, struggles, strengths and the purpose for our assessment. If it’s gaining more information for the NDIS or an application to demonstrate your functional capacity, we can help.

  • We will be able to send out some assessments to you or anyone involved with your care and engagement to gather some additional and formal assessment based on your goals

  • We break this up to reduce fatigue and burnout, feel free to ask to combine it! But this interview is often an additional 60-90 mins to clarify some information from your assessment.

  • It takes a little time to synthesise all of that information and interviews and assessments! It’ll take a couple of weeks to get your report back with your recommendations.

  • If you would like, feel free to book in a consult to walk through your assessment to explain the finer details and recommendations
