Afternoon @ceteam just an OT update - we currently have over 50 requests for FCAs on the OT waitlist, so if clients or SC's are calling asking if we have capacity the short answer is No - there is the odd OT that still has capacity for an FCA but as we have over 50 currently on our waitlist we don't have capacity to take them on for a few months. @di 30.4.25

Occupational therapists focus on promoting health and wellbeing by enabling people to participate in the everyday occupations of life, such as self-care activities including showering, dressing, preparing food; productive activities such as education, work, volunteering and caring for others; and leisure/social activities, such as being part of a community group, engaging in a hobby, and being part of a friendship group. Occupational therapists play a particularly crucial role in enabling people experiencing disability to identify and implement methods that support their participation in occupations. This may include modifying an activity or an environment.

Some key areas of activity where occupational therapists may provide support include:
  • Daily living activities such as showering, dressing, grooming, eating
  • Fine motor skills, emotional regulation,
  • Multi-step activities that may involve caring for others such as household management activities, shopping, childcare, budgeting, banking, financial management, home maintenance, driving
  • Education activities which allow a person to participate as a learner in a learning environment
  • Leisure and play activities
  • Social participation
  • Therapeutic use of occupations, and activities, including therapeutic use of self (including one’s personality, insights, perceptions, and judgments, as part of the therapeutic process)
  • Skill development in self-care, self-management, home management, and community/work/school reintegration
  • Education and support of individuals, including family members, caregivers, and others, through collaborative and consultative partnerships and family-centred approaches
  • Care coordination, case management, transition services including discharge planning, client advocacy and onward referral to relevant services
  • Modification of environments (e.g., home, work, school, community) and adaptation of processes, including the application of ergonomic principles
  • Assessment, customisation and oversight of equipment provision including orthotic devices, and training in the use of prosthetic devices
  • Community mobility
  • Use of natural contexts for assessment and intervention (i.e. home, school classrooms, work settings, community)
  • Use of a range of specific therapeutic procedures to enhance performance such as wound care management, techniques to enhance sensory, perceptual, and cognitive processing, and manual therapy technique skills

FCA Quote: As a general rule, Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) take approximately 15 hours - which will be reflected in the service agreement.
