Occupational Therapy Assessment

Children aged 0 – 16 years

An Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment aims to determine underlying causes of the difficulties that your child is experiencing as well as what their strengths are.  Assessments are tailored to each child, considering concerns reported by parents and teaching staff, as well as the child’s unique strengths and difficulties as determined by the OT.

  • Postural control and postural mechanisms

  • Praxis/motor planning

  • Sensory-motor functioning
  • Gross motor skills
  • Fine motor skills
  • Handwriting skills
  • Visual perceptual skills
  • Social-emotional development
