Our occupational therapy assessments ,evaluate your child’s functional abilities and developmental performance in daily activities. We focus on daily activities, sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, visual-motor integration, and behavioral organization. Our goal is to understand your child's strengths and needs to provide tailored recommendations and support.

Our assessment includes:

• Behavioral Organization of the Child
  The child’s ability to regulate attention, emotional responses, and task engagement during structured and unstructured activities. Variability in behavioral organization is noted depending on environmental demands and sensory input.

• Sensory Profile and History of the child
  A detailed sensory history and occupational profile are obtained through caregiver interviews and standardized questionnaires. Reports may  indicate patterns of sensory over- and under-responsiveness affecting daily routines such as grooming, feeding, attention, and transitions.

• Structured Observations (SIPT-related) Regarding Sensory Input
  Structured clinical observations, aligned with the principles of the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT),  are going to be used to assess the child’s responses to tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular input. Signs of sensory modulation difficulties, poor postural control, and challenges in motor planning (praxis) can be shown during tasks involving complex movement patterns and sensory integration.

• Observations of Developmental Level Relative to Chronological Age
  The child’s developmental skills are going to be assessed through both structured tasks and spontaneous play. Observations can identify delays in areas such as fine motor coordination, bilateral integration, and sequencing, when compared to age-level expectations.

• Evaluation of Free Play, Motor Response, and Arousal Level
  The child’s spontaneous play behavior, motor planning, and sensory responsiveness are going to be assessed in normal settings. The child’s level of arousal can be often elevated or fluctuating, particularly in response to novel or multi-sensory stimuli.

• Standardized Assessment – DTVP-3 (Developmental Test of Visual Perception – 3rd Edition) or VMI test(Visual-Motor Integration) :
  To assess the child’s visual perceptual and visual-motor integration abilities,  in specific subtests such as Eye-Hand Coordination, Copying, and Visual Closure.  Also , assessing tasks requiring hand-eye coordination, visual tracking, and fine motor precision, as assessed through age-appropriate VMI tasks (e.g., copying shapes, puzzles, and drawing).

• Assessing writing skills based on the developmental stage of each child, with specific attention to age-appropriate milestones and functional handwriting abilities.

  🔍 What OT Looks For, When Assessing Writing Skills

  1. Postural Control & Positioning

  2. Hand Function

  3. Visual-Motor Integration

    4. Fine Motor Skills

    5. Writing Legibility

    6. Cognitive and Language Aspects

Conclusion and Goal Setting
 At the conclusion of the assessment, a comprehensive review of the findings are being conducted, highlighting the child’s strengths, areas of challenge, and specific developmental concerns.

•  Targeted, measurable goals are going to be established, focusing on improving functional abilities across sensory processing, motor coordination, and daily living skills. These goals are designed to support the child’s continued progress, foster independence, and enhance overall quality of life.
• Moving forward, therapy sessions will focus on achieving these objectives through individualized, evidence-based interventions, with regular reviews to monitor progress and adjust goals as necessary.
• We will also collaborate with caregivers and other professionals to ensure a holistic, coordinated approach to the child’s development.
