OT Functional Assessment

For Estate Lawyers, Estate Litigation, Family Lawyers, Financial Planners, and Estate Planning

Our occupational therapists assess the client’s function and the level of assistance needed for daily care. The OT assessment of physical, psychosocial, behavioural, cognitive, and social functions lends a comprehensive insight into the client’s ability to manage daily functions independently.

Our OTs learn about your subjective symptoms and use standardized tests to get objective measurements related to your problems.

Our OTs are skilled in determining the devices needed for safe mobility, devices for improved independence, level of assistance you need with Activities of Daily Living and number of hours of assistance a client requires daily. They can also determine the associated costs of hired services. If required, the OT can recommend alternative options for housing, considering the cost of care.

The OT can address accessibility within the home and connect the family with appropriate contractors.
