Evaluation

The occupational therapist first evaluates using a variety of methods such as standardized developmental tests, clinical observations, parent interviews and questionnaires. It is our role as therapists to provide a variety of challenges within a safe and child friendly environment. This allows the children to use their bodies in new, efficient and safe ways that will carry over into all aspects of their daily routines.

Treatment

The most important aspect of our treatment is the premise of child directed intervention. This means that the child leads the way. Intervention focuses on addressing the individual needs of the child based upon concerns of the family and evaluation findings. We use a collaborative effort with the family to create the child’s treatment plan and goals, as well as home exercise program recommendations.
