Pre-driving Assessments

Functional pre-driving assessments are conducted to obtain quantifiable data regarding a person`s capacity to safely return to driving. Patients are assessed utilizing standardised and non-standardised assessment batteries as to ascertain capacity in components involved in safe driving. These results are presented in a report format and recommendations are made in accordance with the guideline for fitness of drivers in the national road traffic act 93.

Medico-legal Assessments

This includes a full functional capacity evaluation with the focus on extent of damages and degree of functional limitations. These reports are compiled for attorneys and used for legal purposes in proving a case or determining remuneration. The therapist acts as an expert witness and takes into account clinical and neuropsychological conditions when offering an expert opinion on those individuals under scrutiny of the law.

Functional Capacity Evaluations

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) are conducted in order to determine whether a client can comply with the key performance areas of his/her work or to determine whether an individual will be safe to independently accomplish daily living activities. Depending on the results of standardised testing, the necessary course of action will be discussed with the client, referring doctor or insurance institute as to ensure that optimal treatment is provided.

Cognitive Treatments

We provide cognitive rehabilitation focused on improvement of concentration, memory and executive functioning. These sessions can be delivered individually or in group settings. Programs are tailor made based on standardised assessment results. It is quantified over the treatment period and enhanced by an adjuvant homeprogram.

Return-to-work Programmes

We provide individual and group return-to-work programmes in which we address cognitive, physical or emotional aspects that may pose as barriers to a successful return to the workplace. We further liaise with employers and employee wellness programmes to ensure that once a client has returned to work that he/she integrates optimally and is able to cope with their own or accommodated work demands.

Psychiatric Group and Individual Treatments

We provide in-hospital psychiatric services via group modalities, which focus on life skills, such as communication skills, stress management and time management. These groups are also presented on an outpatient basis at our practice rooms and the same life skills can be presented individually according to client needs.
