Explain what your day asks of you
Describe your usual tasks, schedule, surroundings, and where difficulties arise. Work might involve following instructions, handling objects, reading, switching between tasks, speaking with others, or managing physical effort.
These goals also matter outside paid work: volunteering, studying, caring for family, and organizing a household.
Practice the skills behind the task
Your evaluation helps identify appropriate therapy goals. These may include:
- Planning steps, remembering information, and managing distractions.
- Reading, visual attention, and communication.
- Hand coordination and physical demands of everyday tasks.
- Pacing, breaks, and making a routine more manageable.
Connect therapy with your wider plan
Share recommendations from your medical team and any relevant job demands or return-to-activity guidance. We can discuss progress in the functional goals addressed by therapy.
Formal work clearance, workplace accommodations, and job-specific evaluations may involve your treating clinician, employer, or other specialists. Ask which assessments are appropriate for your situation.
Common questions
Can I work on these skills even if I am not ready to return to a job?
Yes. Your current daily goals can be a starting point. The evaluation helps identify what is useful and appropriate now.
Does completing therapy automatically clear me to work or drive?
No. Clearance requirements depend on your condition and the activity. Discuss those decisions with the relevant medical and licensing professionals.
