Move Play Grow Occupational Therapy provides assessments and reports which are generally the first step in the intervention process for children commencing therapy. Assessments are aimed to understand the strengths, weaknesses and difficulties the child may have. The assessment process generally involves the gathering of information from parents/carers, clinic observations and through formal and informal assessment.
The assessment provides a baseline evaluation of the child and can take up to 120 minutes. The length of the assessment is dependent on the needs on the child and the choice of the family. A report is then prepared which includes the results of formal assessments, concerns expressed by care givers and results from an observational assessment. After the assessment, intervention goals are set in collaboration with parents. The report is then used to implement an intervention plan.
