Occupational Therapy Evaluation

Our comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges, ensuring we can create a personalized treatment plan to address their unique needs. The evaluation process covers several key critical areas for your child’s overall development and well-being.

• Fine Motor Skills: We assess your child’s hand strength, coordination, and dexterity. This includes evaluating essential skills such as pencil grip and cutting abilities, which are crucial for tasks like writing and drawing.
• Gross Motor Skills: This component focuses on your child’s posture, balance, and coordination during larger movements. We observe how they engage in activities like running, jumping, and climbing, ensuring they have the motor skills needed for everyday tasks.
• Sensory Processing: Understanding how your child processes and responds to sensory information is vital. Our evaluation identifies any sensory sensitivities or difficulties that might affect their ability to engage in daily activities, such as eating, dressing, or playing.
• Visual-Motor and Visual-Perceptual Skills: We evaluate how well your child integrates their visual skills with motor actions. This is important for tasks like reading, writing, and copying from a board.
• Cognitive Skills: We observe your child’s problem-solving abilities, attention span, and executive functions—skills that are necessary for daily tasks, schoolwork, and social interactions.
• Social and Emotional Skills: Our evaluation also looks at how your child regulates their emotions and interacts with others. This includes assessing their ability to manage frustration, cooperate with peers, and communicate effectively.

This thorough evaluation allows us to gain insights into various aspects of your child’s development, ensuring that we can provide a customized therapy plan designed to support their growth.
