Functional Communication Assessment and Report

Functional Communication Assessment & Report

At Smart Rehab, our Functional Communication Assessment is designed to understand how a person communicates in their everyday life — at home, school, work, and in the community. We focus on practical communication skills that support independence, participation, and meaningful connections with others.

Our experienced clinicians provide comprehensive, NDIS-aligned assessments and professional reports to support therapy planning, funding applications, and NDIS reviews.
