Me is I is proud to announce the addition of Virtual Reality to its Therapeutic Intervention services. Virtual reality therapy can be utilised for children, adolescents and adults experiencing a range of conditions including anxiety, phobias and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It also promotes mindfulness and relaxation.
Studies into the use of Virtual Reality in treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are promising. It is an evidence-based treatment validated by over 20 years of psychological research and can augment traditional therapy.
Following assessment, a virtual reality session runs like a regular session but with a visual immersion device to create a simulated experience.

We conduct Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) for Adult NDIS Participants with:
* Mental health presentations who require evidence to support their NDIS application;
* Psychosocial disabilities; and
* Other disabilities who struggle with emotional wellbeing, interpersonal relationships and community participation.
A FCA works to determine your current level of functioning, your strengths and weaknesses, how you manage on a day-to-day basis, and it can help to identify any challenges or gaps that may need to be addressed.
On completion of a FCA, our NDIS recognised Social Worker can make recommendations based on the assessment outcomes that can be used as supporting evidence of your funding needs when applying to the NDIS as well as in future plan reviews.
A FCA can be a bit of a lengthy process. It can be done in one longer session or be spread over multiple sessions. How long the FCA takes will depend on the complexity of your situation.
During a FCA, standardised assessments – relating to the six domains listed in the NDIS Act and what assessments are deemed best practices for a range of disabilities – are used as a secondary measure to back up the assessments and observations made by our Social Worker. The primary focus is on observation, assessments of numerous tasks, reporting, feedback and bringing all the observations together to create a FCA report.
The FCA can be done at home, at our premises, another environment within the community. Our Social Worker will take into consideration your age, disability and any other important factors.
Our Social Worker will explore your:
* Management of daily tasks like showering, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, sleep, nutrition etc and if there are any challenges that may be impacting your ability to complete these tasks;
* Home management skills like meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, laundry, household budgets and bills etc and any challenges within your current living situation and supports;
* Community management abilities like accessing shops, banks, attending medical or health related appointments etc and how you manage this with driving, public transport or supported transport access;
* Work and study abilities and whether there are any challenges you experience or short‑term or long‑term goals you would like to set;
* Recreational and social engagement skills like exercise, craft, art, music etc and how your ability to engage may be impacted, as well as whether you want to engage and your confidence in engaging socially in the community.
It’s a good idea to let our Social Worker know if you are having a good, average or bad day when you are having your FCA completed. If the impact of your disability fluctuated from good to bad days, sharing this information can help to ensure that your report is balanced and doesn’t just focus on the good or bad. Your FCA should provide an accurate representation of you and your needs.
On completion of your FCA, our Social Worker will provide a comprehensive Functional Assessment report with a summary of your current functional abilities and recommendations for ongoing support, as well as any therapy or Assistive Technology options that may increase your independence and help you to achieve your goals.
Your FCA can then be used as supporting evidence in your future plan review meetings or for an early plan review, to help ensure that you have the funding that you need.
