Assessment

Following the initial consultation, I use my clinical judgment & expertise to consider the best OT pathway for your child/young person.

Occupational therapy pathway

If your child/young person has difficulties with everyday tasks such as handwriting, I assess and design intervention to support your child/young person to achieve practical goals.

Occupational therapy & sensory integration pathway

If your child/young person has difficulties with everyday tasks and sensory issues, I assess and design sensory integration intervention to support your child/young person to achieve practical goals.

Assessment – a thorough assessment of your child/young person’s need(s), using a selection of the standardised and non-standardised assessments such as:

  • Beery VMI-6
  • BOT2 &/or Movement ABC
  • the Roll Evaluation of Activities of Life (REAL) assessment
  • the Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting (PEGS) assessment
  • the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA)
  • the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ)

You will be provided with a set of forms to be completed by parents/guardians/education staff (as appropriate).
