Assessment Options
Standard Assessment
A written report will be provided to the family within 4-6 weeks after the in-clinic assessment including a presentation of assessment results, general recommendations for on-going therapy services and an OT Care Plan.
This assessment is designed for clients ready to begin on-going treatment. It is appropriate for all children who have either never had an OT assessment or have a completed OT assessment that is more than 2 years old.
The assessment is also appropriate for clients hoping to determine whether or not on-going OT services are appropriate for their child or if a different program/approach would be a better fit.
The assessment aims to highlight a child’s strengths, embrace their individual differences, and identify challenges affecting their ability to do everything they need and want to do.
The OT will utilize an approach that includes play-based clinical observations and appropriate standardised assessment measures designed to screen for difficulties in areas including:
- Motor planning capacities.
- Fine motor skills (e.g. in-hand manipulation, pincer/tripod finger grasp, finger isolation).
- Visual perception.
- Sensory processing and modulation.
- Interoceptive awareness
- Social-emotional development.
- Written output.
We recommend that all new clients begin with an assessment from which realistic, meaningful goals for treatment can be developed in collaboration with your family. Below are available options:
