Standardised Assessment in Brisbane by Mobile OTs

Core OT provides standardised assessment in Brisbane through our mobile occupational therapists. We come to your home, school or community setting. Our therapists use validated tools to measure functional capacity, thinking skills, sensory processing and development. As a result, you get reliable, objective information for NDIS planning, therapy goals and clinical decisions.

What Is a Standardised Assessment?

A standardised assessment is a structured test with published norms. In other words, your therapist can compare a person’s results with others of the same age or with a specific reference group. Because the results are objective, the NDIS, schools and medical teams can rely on them as evidence.

Standardised Assessment Tools We Use

First, your OT chooses tools that suit the person’s age and main concerns. For example, we use:

• Paediatric assessments: Beery-Buktenica (VMI), PDMS-3, BOT-2, MABC-2, SPM, Sensory Profile
• Cognitive assessments: MMSE, MoCA, LOTCA, COGNISTAT
• ADL assessments: FIM, COPM, AMPS, WeeFIM
• Vocational assessments: WRI, DASH, PRWE

Who Benefits?

We complete these assessments for children, adults and older people. In particular, they help with:

• NDIS planning and evidence-based goal setting
• School-based OT referrals and educational support applications
• Supporting a diagnosis of autism, developmental delay or sensory processing differences
• Baseline measures before therapy starts
• Tracking progress and therapy outcomes over time

How the Process Works

First, we talk with you and your family about your goals. Next, your OT completes the chosen tests at home, at school or in the community. After that, we score the results and explain what they mean. Finally, we write a clear report with recommendations you can share with your NDIS planner, school or doctor.

Funding Options

You can fund a standardised assessment through your NDIS Capacity Building budget, a Home Care Package or privately. Core OT works with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. For more about NDIS funding, visit the NDIS website.
