Occupational Therapy Assessments

Banner image

Occupational therapists assist when a child has sensory or fine motor challenges:

  • Sensory challenges occur in the processing of sensory stimuli through vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, vestibular (for balance and head position in space), and proprioception (information from the muscles and joints).
  • Fine motor challenges are concerns in the area of writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing. Fine motor skills involve strength, fine motor control, and dexterity.

What to expect from an assessment:

To understand what is happening, an occupational therapist at our Centre will often spend time observing the child, gathering information from the adults in the child’s life and complete standardized assessments. After all of this information is gathered, the occupational therapist will discuss assessment results and later provide a written assessment report to parents providing results, strategies and referrals that will assist the family in supporting their child.

  • We listen to your concerns and experiences to understand how your child reacts in different environments
