Standard of Practice
Assessments are guided by rigorous clinical reasoning and professional judgement, integrating objective findings, contextual factors, current evidence and occupational therapy expertise to formulate defensible clinical opinions and recommendations.
Every evaluation is conducted by an experienced occupational therapist who translates complex physical, cognitive and behavioural findings into clear, defensible and evidence-based recommendations.
A rigorous process of triangulation is employed, integrating subjective experiences, objective assessment findings, clinical observations and collateral information to formulate comprehensive and defensible clinical opinions.
Function is recognized as inseparable from the individual's unique environmental, occupational and life circumstances and is interpreted within that broader context.
