Functional Assessment Review

Incorporating both the staff and recipient’s perceptions of what has changed can be a powerful recovery reminder for all involved.

Consider the following example.  A person’s initial functional assessment indicated that her voices were so powerful that she could not pay attention to what other people were saying.  This interfered with her functioning in multiple domains.

At subsequent updates, the recipient’s voices still interfered with multiple domains, but she was now able to distinguish her internal voices from external ones and could attend to external conversation long enough to answer two or three questions.
