Foundations of Success Assessment

The Foundations of Success Assessment explores the barriers that may be influencing success in a work role or in learning that may also be present in the home environment.

What is a Foundations of Success Assessment?

This expert assessment has been specifically designed to explore the needs of those who are suspected or confirmed to be neurodivergent. It included a standardised sensory assessment, and an evaluation of the environmental impacts on an individual.

This report clarifies how symptoms or traits influence well-being and affect function. For children and young people, this report will also clarify how these influences affect learning; for adults it will clarify how work performance is affected and will assess the suitability of the individual's role.

For our education dedicated service, the Foundations of Success assessment helps family members, case managers, and education professionals to understand the young person's needs and potential.

The remote (online) assessment examines sensory needs, environmental influences, and includes a personal impact analysis. The assessment seeks to establish what is required to promote success for the individual in everyday function and provides bespoke, person-centred recommendations for workplace adjustments/home and learning environments.

What others says

  • I am always so impressed by the therapist’s commitment to and ongoing understanding of Claire and her situation. I am sure the rest of the family will share my thoughts so please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the therapy team when you next see them. Sister of brain injury survivor
  • I just wanted to drop you a line to say, whenever I call the office, Claire, in particular, is always very charming and efficient. She is a good representative of your company and has a nice phone manner and a good approach to customer service. So, thank you Claire. Mother of brain injury survivor
  • The following will never be enough to illustrate Paul’s journey but we are eternally grateful to the NHS, IM, ILS, Krysalis and the whole infrastructure that has been created for Paul. Yes, Paul is focused, determined and driven but the whole team have created a rehabilitation environment that has changed our life and Pauls future, they have made the thought of life and rehabilitation, turn from the impossible to the possible. Brother of brain injured survivor
  • The thought of having the family undertake this journey alone seems impossible and we will be always grateful. We all recognise that James is still on the rehabilitation journey, but there is no stopping him. He has just walked to Mum’s & Dad’s on his own (phone first to say he’s on his way)... what a way to celebrate the 2-year journey.Brother of brain injured survivor
  • I highly recommend Krysalis Consultancy OT services. Anna has been our life line since she came on board to help my husband following his brain injury. He has improved greatly thanks to Anna’s input in assisting him to become independent, teaching him step by step the simple things which we all take for granted. Anna is there for us 100%, teaching us both strategies to enable us to achieve better results.Wife of brain injured survivor
  • Just a short note to thank you very much for your hard work and persistence over the last few months, your guidance has undoubtedly helped and taken the pressure off me (I have benefited from the sessions greatly). I am really encouraged by the last few weeks and optimistic that if Peter keeps working at it he will continue to make good progress.Brother of brain injured survivor
