Functional assessment
Discussion
From:
Project team
When is this term used? How does it differ from a needs assessment?
Functional assessment appears to be a term used specifically by OTs rather than social workers.
There is a scoring tool called the UK-FIM+FAM (Functional Independence Measure + Functional Assessment Measure) which captures 30 domains of funcional capability - further research needed to see whether it is in current use.
