Vocational Evaluation & Rehabilitation Services
Vocational testing for aptitude, academic skills, cognitive abilities, occupational interest, worker personality traits, and physical functioning are the foundation of the vocational assessment process which provides objective data for litigation purposes.
Vocational evaluation services provide a variety of data, including:
Vocational Assessment: The process of identifying knowledge levels, aptitudes, academic achievement, cognitive abilities, and physical functioning
Job Analysis: The collection of data from past employment and the current labor market to identify accurate job titles, tasks, exertional, and environmental demands for jobs
Transferable Skills Analysis: The analysis of skills acquired from past employment and education, modified by medically-related functional impairments to identify residual employment potential
Labor Market Analysis: Researching standardized labor market information, such as U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, State and Local labor market statistics, and web-based job search platforms, for potential employment availability
Analysis of Residual Earning Capacity: The assessment of employment data to determine earning capacity based on education level, employment experience, and other qualifications
