Vocational Evaluation and Job Exploration
  • Work Simulations of a broad range of occupations.
  • Specialized aptitude, achievement, and work sample testing.
  • Analysis of work behaviours, physical tolerances, and job interests.
  • Assessment of independent living skills.
  • Individualized 1-day to 2-week programs available.


  • Equipment Assessment for Office Occupations
  • Equipment and job modifications based on current work station
        requirements.
  • Hands-on use of ergonomic tools, i.e., alternative keyboards,
        pointing devices, foot pedals, arm supports, and adjustable work
        stations.
  • Use of voice recognition software to minimize keyboarding.


  • Functional Capacity Evaluation
  • Assess physical functioning for lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling,
        and extremity use.
  • Use of the computerized Ergos Work Simulator for objective
        measurements.
  • Accomplished over a 4 to 6 hour period.

    Work Tolerance Screening
  • Includes provision of an initial Functional Capacity Evaluation to
        determine baseline physical tolerances.
  • Structured job-specific activities to determine vocational
        feasibility.
  • Conducted in 2 or 3 day modules.

    Graduated Work Hardening
  • In each program module, aerobic exercises decrease as work
        simulation increases.
  • Includes body mechanics and exercise instruction, as well as
        structured work simulations.
  • Individualized over a 2 to 6 week program.
