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 his/her hands
• Gross Motor Skills – eye hand coordination, spatial awareness, position in space
• Visual Motor Skills – writing shapes, letters and numbers correctly
• Visual Perceptual Skills – block designs, puzzles
• Self Help Skills – dressing skills, using a cup and utensils to eat
• Sensory Processing Skills – attention to task, arousal, behavior regulation
