 Assessment

​

An Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment is the first step in understanding how we can best support you or your child to thrive in everyday life. Our assessments are designed to build a complete picture of strengths, preferences, and areas where extra support may be helpful.

What to expect:
During the assessment, we take time to get to know you or your child — what’s working well, what’s most important to you, and what feels challenging. We may use a mix of conversation, observation, and activities, along with standardised tools where appropriate.

We look at things like:

• Daily routines (home, school, work, community)

• Motor skills, coordination, and independence

• Sensory processing and regulation

• Attention, organisation, and problem-solving

• Social and play skills (for children)

• Confidence, participation, and well-being

Our approach is strengths-based:
We highlight what you or your child does best and use those strengths to build skills and strategies. We also take into account personal preferences — whether that’s learning through play, hands-on activities, or structured routines.

Why it matters:
An OT assessment gives you clear, practical recommendations to support independence and participation in meaningful activities. You’ll receive a tailored report with strategies and, if needed, a therapy plan designed to help you or your child feel more confident and capable at home, school, work, and in the community.
