Clinical psychology assessment is appropriate where there are emotional consequences of injuries e.g. anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and adjustment disorder.

Future Needs

Immediate Needs Assessment (INA)

INA’s are instructed under the Rehabilitation Code and are generally requested early post injury.
