Functional Assessment

Functional Assessment is a systematic process used to identify a person's abilities, challenges, and support needs in daily life. It involves observing and gathering information about how an individual performs tasks, interacts socially, and manages their environment. The goal is to understand the factors affecting their functioning, whether in education, work, or living situations. This assessment helps to create tailored interventions and support plans that promote independence, enhance skills, and improve quality of life. It’s commonly used in education, healthcare, and social services to provide effective support and resources.
