Immediate Needs Assessment (INA)

An INA is a face to face, thorough clinical reasoned holistic assessment with a client who has sustained an injury or illness. 

The assessment provides a detailed history following the index injury or illness. The INA allows for the formulation of the client’s short term rehabilitation goals and objectives for the client and the case manager to work towards in the accordance with the Rehabilitation Code 2015.  

An ETS INA where appropriate can combine Hand and Upper Limb Assessment, Cognitive Assessment, and an Equipment Needs Assessment. 

It is a recommended assessment for those individuals who have experienced moderate, severe or catastrophic injury or illness. 

*The assessment may also be undertaken by video call depending on the case.

Immediate Needs Assessment (INA)

An INA is a thorough, holistic and clinically reasoned face-to-face assessment with an individual who has sustained an injury or who is suffering from a medical condition which  impacts their ability to complete activities they were able to do prior to the injury or illness.

Telephone Diagnostic Assessment (TDA)

This is a cost-effective assessment that provides an overview of the injuries sustained or illness manifestation detailing medical and treatment intervention, ongoing and unmet rehabilitation needs, the individual’s occupations, and social circumstances.

Post-concussion Screening Assessment

This is a remote assessment for individuals with ongoing, often subtle, symptoms of concussion.  The assessment is undertaken by a specialist neurological Occupational Therapist using evidence based screening tools to provide guidance on timely and effective intervention to improve an individual’s functional performance in everyday life.

Occupational Therapy Functional Assessment

This is a face-to-face assessment with the individual, in which all relevant areas of functional performance are assessed e.g. personal and domestic activities of daily living, occupational performance (leisure and social interests) etc.

Cognitive/Fatigue Assessment

This assessment provides objective evidence of cognitive capacity through psychometric tests and self-report questionnaires. These address aspects such as memory, verbal comprehension and fluency, processing speed and logical thinking as well as impact of fatigue and attention/concentration.

Functional Capacity Evaluation

This comprehensive and detailed assessment is applied to determine an individual’s current physical ability to perform work duties, to help them return to a work role, or alternatively, gain new employment.

“Apart from her obvious medical and clinical skills, Enable Therapy Services are excellent communicators and as above have been excellent at keeping all parties to the Rehab fully informed at all material points in the process. I would put money on the most glowing feedback coming from the Injured Party himself as no doubt he has been helped by Enable Therapy Services during what was some very dark days in the past few years.”
