OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
How we're moving beyond traditional therapy...
At Kind & Collaborative Empowerment, we believe Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) should be more than just a report. They’re about understanding an individual’s real-world abilities, uncovering strengths, and identifying the supports that help them thrive. Our assessments are strengths-based, person-centred, and neuroaffirming, designed to reflect the unique needs, routines, and goals of each individual. Our Occupational Therapy-led FCAs are guided by the principle that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work. We collaborate closely with clients, families, and support networks to ensure recommendations are practical, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most in daily life. The process is designed to highlight independence, confidence, and the skills that can make everyday tasks, work, and meaningful activities achievable.
Because real change doesn’t come from focusing on limitations or "deficits". Real change comes from recognising individual strengths, providing the right supports, and creating opportunities for growth. Functional Capacity Assessments at KCE aren’t just assessments- they’re tools for empowerment.

What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people engage in meaningful activities, build independence, and overcome barriers in daily life.
Instead of focusing on what someone “can’t do,” OT asks: what supports, adaptations, or skills will help this person thrive? It’s not about fixing or forcing change. It’s about:
Celebrating strengths – recognising each persons uniqueness.
Identifying challenges – understanding the sensory, physical, cognitive or environmental factors that may make daily tasks difficult.
Designing empowering strategies – adapting routines, spaces & activities to support the individuals independence and participant.
Supporting the whole team – families, schools, and support workers all play a role.
Enhancing quality of life – supporting people to not just cope, but thrive.
What are Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA's) ?
What is the role of a OT?
Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA’s) are evaluations that measure an individual’s ability to perform everyday tasks and participate in work, social, or personal activities. They identify strengths, limitations, and support needs, helping guide interventions, goal-setting, and planning to improve independence, safety, and quality of life.
The role of an Occupational Therapist (OT) is to help individuals participate in daily activities that are meaningful to them. OTs assess physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors, and provide strategies, adaptations, or therapies to improve independence, safety, and overall quality of life.
How can Occupational Therapy help me?
Occupational Therapy helps by identifying challenges in daily activities, understanding the underlying factors, and creating practical, personalized strategies that build skills, increase independence, and improve quality of life for both the individual and their support network.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We’re not just another provider — our difference is in how we connect, collaborate, and empower
We live it as well as practise it.
Over 50% of our practitioners are neurodivergent themselves. That means we don’t just bring professional expertise — we bring lived experience. We understand, first-hand, the challenges and the strengths that come with neurodivergence, and we use that insight to connect with participants and families on a deeper level.
We never stop learning.
Our team is committed to ongoing research and training, staying across the latest evidence-based, neuroaffirming approaches. We don’t recycle outdated strategies or force one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we tailor interventions to meet each participant where they are.
