Work Capacity Evaluations provide a broad overview of an individual's
present vocational aptitudes, achievement, interests, temperament,
work characteristics, and physical abilities. Through various modalities
including psychometric tests, work simulation, dexterity tests,
interest inventories, and work samples, a realistic assessment is
obtained. It also provides an individual the opportunity to explore
their own capabilities in a supportive environment and thus determine
appropriate vocational direction and readiness to return to work.
