Families
Families enquiring about Occupational Therapy assessment for their child usually have two questions:
What’s going on?
What can we do to help?
A detailed assessment aims to answer these questions. Assessment begins with a detailed discussion with parents / carers which is facilitated through a specially designed questionnaire. This includes your child’s developmental history, sensory responses, motor skills, social-emotional behaviours and consideration of your child’s strengths, interests, current needs and the goals of intervention.
Professionals
With parents’ consent, assessment can be requested directly by schools or other professionals. It is recommended that the assessment is observed by an adult who will be able to implement the advice given.
