Functional & Participation Assessment
Daily function, regulation and real-world capacity across home & community.
Assessments & Support
Our assessments are ND-led, trauma-informed and deeply practical. We look at how a young person actually functions in daily life — across home, community, learning and relationships — and translate findings into clear, usable recommendations that support progress without overwhelm.
How we assess
Every assessment begins by building safety, predictability and a shared understanding of what you want to achieve. Our approach is collaborative, low-demand, and grounded in lived experience.
- Brief intake call to define goals & concerns
- Review of useful documents (school, therapists, past reports)
- Observation in natural settings (home/community/program)
- Interviews with participant + trusted adults
- Tasks matched to interests — not forms or pressure
- Recommendations that teams can implement immediately
Participation is always by choice. We offer clear opt-in and opt-out steps throughout, and pace sessions with the young person's nervous system in mind.
What you receive
- A plain-English summary + detailed functional findings
- Recommendations mapped to your plan goals & NDIS outcomes
- Environment & sensory modifications (low-cost first)
- Risk / safety considerations, escalation ladders (if needed)
- Practical implementation steps for home, community & school
