Capacity Assessment
- Occurs in a variety of contexts, such as health care decisions, applications for guardianship appointments, and long-term care admission
- Differs across jurisdictions, laws and types of decisions
- No single type of capacity assessor or assessment applies to all situations
- Not all situations that involve capacity criteria require a formal capacity assessment e.g. enterring into a contract
- In some contexts, the law specifies who must assess capacity
- Sometimes speech-language pathologists are allowed to assess capacity
- People should be accommodated in the assessment process
- e.g. assistance from support people
