Screening (Optional)

A screen is a quick overview of the child’s current skill level and helps determine if a formal evaluation would be appropriate.

Formal Evaluation

An evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of the child’s current developmental stages and gives quantitative data to compare them to others their age. There are a variety of assessments that can be utilized during an evaluation based on the primary concerns. Evaluation sessions are typically scheduled for 1-1.5 hours.

Treatment Planning

Your therapist will analyze the results from the evaluation and create a plan of care individualized to the child’s needs. Goals will be available to families and prioritized to meet their needs.

Treatment Sessions

Weekly treatment sessions are scheduled at intervals discussed after the evaluation process that best suits the needs of the child (typically 1-2 sessions per week).

End of Care/ Discharge

After the child has met their goals, and their family has no other concerns within the scope of occupational therapy, the child will graduate from services. Typically this is done gradually to ensure skill mastery.
