Functional vocational evaluation is defined as documentation of general work behaviors (e.g. attention to task, work rate, work organization, attendance, punctuality, & physical stamina); dexterity, following directions, working independently, or with job supports or accommodations; job interests and preferences; abilities (aptitude); and other special needs, such as job specific work skills, interpersonal relationships & socialization, and work related skills (e.g. independent transportation, appropriate use of break time, appropriate dress for work). Functional assessments are considered most valid when provided in a specific work environment.
