Specialised Assessments

Specialised assessments are the best way to proactively advocate for participants and their support needs.

The report generated from a specialised assessments is an effective piece of supporting material to take into your next NDIS review – or if you’re new to the NDIS; your first assessment.

Our team conducts the below assessments that are relevant to each individual, and gathers the collective insights; collating it all into supporting evidence for upcoming NDIS reviews:

  • Functional Assessments
  • Communication Assessments
  • Swallowing Assessments
  • Assistive Technology Assessments
  • Home Modifications Assessments
  • Supported Independent Living Assessments
  • Cognitive Assessments
  • School Readiness Assessments
  • Numeracy And Literacy Assessments
  • Leisure Assessments
  • Early Developmental Assessments
  • Exercise/Physical Assessments
  • Workplace Assessments

Our qualified therapists comprehensively assess a participant’s needs by understanding their:

  • Abilities
  • Lifestyle
  • Health
  • NDIS goals
  • Personal goals
  • Family support
  • Informal support

Therapy Care keeps track of when participants receiving support are scheduled for their next NDIS review. We also continually check in with participants, to ensure that no matter where they are with their support plan, they always receive the right amount and type of services.

Our specialised assessments are extremely thorough, so that when we advocate on your behalf the NDIS has the supporting evidence they require to understand the support and services you need.

Making the NDIS Easy!

Bring your NDIS Plan to life with Therapy Care

When you need a specialised assessment

  • A plan review is coming up and you need evidence for what you are asking for
  • The NDIS has asked for a functional capacity assessment
  • You need equipment, assistive technology or home modifications approved
  • Support needs have changed and the current plan no longer matches real life

How it runs

  1. 1 Scope it properlyWe confirm what the assessment has to answer before we start, so the report does the job it is meant to do.
  2. 2 Assess in contextIn your home or the places you spend your time, because capacity looks different in a clinic room.
  3. 3 A report that stands upWritten in the language the NDIS expects, with the evidence attached.

How it is funded

Assessments are usually funded from Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, under the relevant therapy line. We will tell you what the assessment will cost against your plan before we begin.
