Occupational Therapy Services in Canada
Occupational Therapy (OT) services focus on assessing and improving how individuals perform essential activities of daily life after an injury, illness, or disability. At PsycIME, our occupational therapists evaluate a person’s physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities to determine their capacity for independence at home, work, and in the community. Through evidence-based assessments such as Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs), Cognitive Functional Assessments, Worksite Evaluations, and Life Care Planning, our OTs identify barriers, recommend rehabilitation strategies, and guide return-to-work or accommodation planning. The goal is to help clients regain functional ability, adapt to changes, and enhance quality of life through measurable, real-world outcomes.
PsycIME’s Occupational Therapy services are especially valuable in medical-legal and insurance contexts, where objective data supports decisions about personal injury, catastrophic impairment, or long-term care needs. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures each evaluation aligns with current clinical standards, accurately reflecting the individual’s abilities and functional limitations for use in both rehabilitation planning and legal proceedings.
Vocational and Psychological Assessment Services
Vocational and Psychological Services at PsycIME combine clinical psychology, vocational rehabilitation, and occupational analysis to provide a clear picture of a person’s ability to work following injury, illness, or trauma. These assessments—such as Vocational and Psycho-Vocational Evaluations—measure skills, aptitudes, cognitive abilities, and psychological readiness for employment. They help determine whether an individual can return to their previous role, transition into a new career, or requires accommodations or retraining.
PsycIME’s psychological specialists assess mental health, cognition, behaviour, and resilience, while vocational experts analyze career potential, transferable skills, and functional job demands. Together, these services provide comprehensive, evidence-based insight into employability and recovery potential. In legal and insurance settings, these evaluations assist decision-makers in understanding the psychological and functional barriers to employment and support fair, informed outcomes in disability and personal injury claims.
Occupational Therapy and Vocational-Psychological Assessment in Mental Health
Occupational therapy and vocational-psychological assessments play a vital role in understanding and supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges that impact daily functioning and employability. Through structured evaluation of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functioning, occupational therapists identify how conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or trauma-related disorders affect a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks, manage routines, or engage in meaningful work. Vocational and psychological assessments complement this by exploring employability, coping capacity, motivation, and psychosocial barriers that influence return-to-work readiness or sustained employment. Together, these assessments provide a comprehensive, evidence-based view of an individual’s mental health and functional capacity—informing treatment planning, workplace accommodations, and legal or insurance decisions with objective data that supports recovery, inclusion, and long-term well-being.
Occupational Therapy Functional Assessment
An Occupational Therapy (OT) Functional Assessment examines an individual’s ability to perform essential activities at home, work, and within the community.
It evaluates physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning to identify barriers and strengths affecting independence. Findings guide personalized recommendations for rehabilitation, assistive devices, or environmental adaptations—helping clients regain autonomy and improve daily living.
Typical use cases:
- Disputes involving functional independence or daily activity limitations

Cognitive Screening & Dementia Care Planning
Our Cognitive Screening assessments identify cognitive deficits in domains such as memory, attention, and executive functioning, while Dementia Care Planning supports families and care teams in creating safe, personalized support strategies.
These evaluations assist in determining the level of assistance required for activities such as work, school, or caregiving, and help guide decisions around independent living or long-term care.
Vocational & Psycho-Vocational Assessments
A Vocational Assessment determines an individual’s potential for employment or training by evaluating their skills, interests, education, and health status. A Psycho-Vocational Assessment builds upon this with psychological testing to explore emotional wellbeing, cognitive ability, and psychosocial barriers to employment.
These assessments inform return-to-work strategies, career re-entry planning, and vocational rehabilitation for individuals affected by illness, injury, or disability.
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
An FCE objectively measures physical abilities such as strength, endurance, mobility, and balance in relation to workplace demands.
This assessment determines safe return-to-work capacity, identifies appropriate accommodations, and supports rehabilitation planning.
Cognitive Functional Capacity Evaluation (Cog-FCE)
The Cognitive FCE assesses cognitive skills essential for workplace performance, including attention, memory, and executive functioning. By combining standardized testing with task simulations, it provides insight into how cognitive impairments impact productivity and job safety.
Worksite & Job Site Evaluations
Worksite Evaluations are conducted on-site to analyze the physical, cognitive, and environmental demands of a specific job. Recommendations may include ergonomic adjustments, assistive technologies, or phased return-to-work plans to enhance safety and performance.
Future Care Cost / Life Care Planning Reports
A Future Care Cost Report (also called a Life Care Plan) outlines the projected lifetime medical, rehabilitation, and support needs of an individual following injury or chronic illness.
It includes detailed recommendations and cost estimates for healthcare, attendant care, equipment, and home modifications—ensuring accurate, evidence-based long-term planning for legal or insurance purposes.
