Assessment Services
Functional Capacity Evaluations
Functional capacity evaluations (FCEs) are one or two day comprehensive assessments designed to answer questions regarding a client’s physical and/or cognitive abilities. This may be related to work and/or activities of daily living.
In addition to assessing physical and cognitive abilities, the FCE may also look at emotional and environmental factors that may be impacting function.
Meridian Rehabilitation offers medical-legal and non-legal FCE options and our therapists are experienced in both physical and cognitive evaluations.
Medical Legal Assessments
Meridian Rehabilitation offers a variety of Medical Legal assessment services. Our therapists are experienced in performing Functional Capacity Evaluations and several have been accepted to provide expert witness testimony in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Meridian also offers cost of future care assessments, rebuttal reports, report critiques, and case reviews.
Vocational Assessments
As circumstances of our lives change, new occupational opportunities may need to be explored. A Vocational Consultant can provide information about an individual’s skills, abilities and interests, and identify possible career paths the individual could pursue. Support and education will assist the individual in this transition.
