Abstract

Date Presented 4/10/2016

This research describes the development of the Work Disability Functional Assessment Battery (WD–FAB). The WD–FAB characterizes a person’s functioning along six key dimensions. The WD–FAB may be useful among occupational therapists focusing on work rehabilitation and disability evaluation.
