Gross Motor Skills

🔍

Occupational therapy (OT) assessments are conducted to identify how a child's strengths and challenges impact their daily activities. 'Daily activities' encompass three main areas: play, school and home life. The assessment results help create a comprehensive therapy plan to enable the child to participate in home and school life with confidence and success.

The OT assessment can explore the following areas:

Attention
Fine-motor skills (including bilateral hand use, dexterity and handwriting)
Gross-motor skills (including balance, postural control and coordination)
Handwriting
Visual-perceptual skills
Sensory processing and regulation
Organisation and planning

What is Included:

A minimum of two standardised tests
Detailed clinical observations in a naturalistic (non-testing) setting
Standardised parent-report measures

What is the Process?

An initial parent consultation. Prior to the appointment, parents or caregivers will be given both a Sensory Processing Measure (caregiver's questionnaire) and a Childhood History Form to complete.
A face-to-face assessment of the child (approximately two hours).
Preliminary results are given verbally on the day of the assessment.
A full report is provided approximately two weeks later.
A parent meeting for discussion of the assessment results, following receipt of the report.
