Evaluations

An Occupational Therapy evaluation is performed in order to gain insight regarding your child's fine motor skills within the context of his or her total development. Standardized and non-standardized tests, clinical observations, and parental input are used in order to gather essential information on your child.

Evaluations are used in order to assess some or all of the following:

• Fine Motor Skills – your child’s ability to manipulate objects with their hands
• Gross Motor Skills – core stabilization, eye hand coordination, motor coordination, bilateral hand skills, spatial awareness, and position in space
• Visual Motor Skills – writing shapes, letters and numbers correctly
• Visual Perceptual Skills – block designs, puzzles
• Self Help Skills – dressing skills, feeding skills
• Sensory Processing Skills – hypo/hyper responses to sensory stimuli, arousal levels,  modulation of sensory processing, responses to sensory stimuli that may be impacting their engagement in activities at home, in their academic or social environments.
