​​Boutique Psychology’s understanding of the ever-evolving requirements of the NDIS has been developed to assist Support Coordinators and their clients in achieving meaningful outcomes.

 

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the following key benefits:

​

 

Comprehensive Assessments:

​

  • We provide detailed evaluations to accurately identify clients' strengths and areas of need, informing tailored support plans.

  • Our assessments align with the upcoming NDIS framework impairment framework, capturing impairments and support needs to meet eligibility criteria and integrate smoothly into planning processes.

  • Flexibility in assessments means that we are able to develop and report on individuals’ disabilities and how the disabilities impair the clients functioning across functional domains.  

  • Our assessments and reports are designed to align with the updated focus on functional capacity, ensuring compliance and relevancy.

​

​

​​

Timely and Flexible Service Delivery:

​

  • Aware of the time-sensitive nature of support coordination, we ensure prompt assessments and reports to meet deadlines without compromising quality.

  • Our services are offered both in-person and via Telehealth, promoting accessibility and accommodating diverse client preferences.

​

​​Capacity Building Support

 

​Beyond assessments, our team provides tailored therapeutic interventions aimed at:

  • Enhancing clients' independence and daily living skills, a central focus of NDIS goals.

  • Supporting participants in achieving meaningful progress that aligns with their long-term objectives.

  • Our interventions are personalised to address specific impairments and promote lasting improvements in functional capacity, helping participants make the most of their NDIS plans.

​

Collaborative Network:

​

  • We maintain connections with trusted service providers to ensure clients receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.

  • Our collaborative approach addresses various aspects of well-being, enabling support coordinators to provide holistic care.

       NDIS Expertise:

  • Our team is well-versed in NDIS processes, including the latest updates to impairment notices and the support needs assessment framework.

  • We assist in navigating administrative tasks, such as documentation for DSP and Carer's Allowance, and ensure funding is optimised for participants' goals.

 

Telehealth for NDIS participants

​

Our clinic offers convenient Telehelath sessions for individuals who prefer therapeutic intervention  in the comfort of their own homes. Upon booking, we will supply the client with a secure video link, ensuring easy access for the appointments. Telehealth intervention not only eliminates the need for travel but also delivers equally effective results as in-person therapy.

​

Telehealth Assessments (supports available across Australia)

​

Some assessments we can provide purely by telehealth (*some conditions apply).  Our flexible delivery approach to assessments can work with your clients’ needs. [call to action? Contact us today to discuss your client’s assessment needs]​​​

Comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) at Boutique Psychology
 

At Boutique Psychology, we specialise in delivering Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) designed to meet the complex needs of NDIS participants. Our reports go beyond identifying impairments, offering detailed, actionable insights that empower support coordinators to secure the right supports for their clients.

​

Key Features of Our FCAs
 

1. Comprehensive and Tailored Assessments:

Our FCAs evaluate clients across all NDIS functional domains:

  • Conceptual: Focus on cognitive and academic skills, such as communication, decision-making, and self-direction.

  • Social: Assess interpersonal relationships, social participation, and leisure activities.

  • Practical: Evaluate daily living tasks, health and safety, and community engagement.


Using tools like the ABAS-3, BRIEF-A, and Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2), our assessments provide a complete picture of a participant's strengths and challenges.

 

2. Real-Life Examples for Clarity:

Our reports include specific, real-life examples of what participants can achieve independently and where they require support. For instance:
 

  • A participant may consistently use the internet for personal interests but struggle to invite others to join them in activities or maintain a safe living environment.

  • They might effectively write their name or locate contact details online but require significant assistance with managing finances or completing forms.
     

These detailed examples enhance the accuracy of support planning and funding applications.

 

Actionable Recommendations:

Our FCAs translate findings into practical, participant-focused recommendations, including:
 

  • Support workers (e.g., 2:1 ratios) to assist with social engagement, medication management, and personal care.

  • Allied health supports such as occupational therapy, psychology, and speech therapy to address communication, executive functioning, and emotional regulation.

  • Specialised accommodation needs (e.g., SDA housing) for participants with extreme behaviours of concern.
     

Each recommendation is aligned with NDIS funding categories, ensuring participants receive supports that directly address their needs.

 

4. Clear Alignment with NDIS Standards:

Our assessments are structured to support funding applications by:

  • Identifying impairments and functional limitations within NDIS domains.

  • Providing evidence-based justification for supports under the "reasonable and necessary" criteria.

  • Offering specific details about required hours, equipment, and services to streamline approval processes.

 

5. Risk Profiles to Ensure Participant Safety:

​

We incorporate detailed risk assessments to highlight areas where immediate and ongoing supports are required. For example:

  • High risks related to self-harm, aggression, or safety awareness are clearly outlined with tailored support strategies.

  • Recommendations are prioritised to mitigate these risks and enhance participant independence and quality of life.

​​

How Our FCAs Empower Support Coordinators

​

With Boutique Psychology’s FCAs, support coordinators can:
 

  • Access clear, detailed reports that simplify planning and funding approvals.

  • Advocate effectively for participants by using data-backed recommendations.

  • Trust that our assessments are fully aligned with current NDIS requirements and frameworks.
