Assessments, Consultations and treatment
Occupational therapy assessments are individualized and use standardized and criterion referenced assessments. Skills assessed depend on the concerns and can include manual dexterity, eye- hand coordination skills, visual spatial skills, balance, gross motor movement, strength, ball skills, feeding, reflex integration, sensory processing development, including attention, focus, persistence, planning, and organization.
Assessments can include parent interview, one to one time with your child, formal and informal tests or questionnaires, and observation at home and/or school.
Direct Treatment. Treatment is play based. Play activities are chosen based on task analysis, individualized needs and appropriate goals. An activity is broken down into smaller parts and the underlying skills are worked on as steps towards an end goal.
Activities are aimed to meet the child where he/she is at and then provide a slight change to the task. This way the child is given the opportunity to approach things in a new way, engaging the thinking brain.
Consultation with other service providers and team members.
