jillio,
when it comes to mental illness, can functional assessments be done by a therapist or psychiatrist? what do they involve? giving a client a questionaire or asking their therapist and/or psychiatrist for documentation that outlines their ability or lack thereof to function in a real world environment?
Functional assessments can be done by any mental health care professional. They involve using a structured instrument to determine levels of daily functioning across several domains.
