About Benchmark Occupational Therapy

Benchmark OT is primarily an assessment-focused occupational therapy practice, with a particular focus on cognitive functional evaluation and the assessment of functional abilities in relation to work, daily activities, and environmental demands.

Our practice works with insurers, disability management professionals, rehabilitation providers, employers, case managers, legal professionals, and individuals who require clear information about functional abilities, limitations, environmental demands, and support needs.

Our Focus

Assessments are designed to answer specific referral questions and provide practical information that can support rehabilitation planning, disability management, return-to-work decision-making, functional independence, and equipment or environmental recommendations.

Services include:

  • Physical Functional Capacity Evaluations

  • Cognitive Functional Capacity Evaluations

  • Job, Physical, and Cognitive Demands Analysis

  • Ergonomic Assessments

  • Personal Care and ADL/IADL Assessments

  • Home and Equipment Assessments

  • Percentage of Duties Assessments

Assessments may be completed in clinic, workplace, home, community, or other relevant environments depending on the referral question.

Objective, Function-Focused Assessment

Assessment findings are considered within the context of real-world function.

Where appropriate, reported abilities and limitations are compared with observed or demonstrated performance, environmental demands, job requirements, and available medical or rehabilitation information.

Reports are intended to provide clear, clinically reasoned findings and practical recommendations that can be understood and used by the parties involved in rehabilitation, disability management, return-to-work planning, or independent living.

Independent Occupational Therapy Services

As an independent practice, Benchmark OT provides assessment and reporting based on the available information and the findings obtained through the assessment process.

Recommendations are guided by functional need, clinical reasoning, and the specific referral question.
