Occupational therapy
An occupational therapy assessment and consultation service: we start with a parent meeting to understand your child's needs, and you come away with a written report, an individual sensory diet, and home strategies — integrated with the ABA plan when needed.
What it is
An assessment and consultation service delivered by an occupational therapist. It starts with a parent interview and the gathering of the child's developmental, medical, sensory, and functional history — covering daily-living skills, play, sensory processing, fine motor skills, self-care, and participation at home and school. It ends with a written occupational therapy report and an individual sensory diet with home recommendations and strategies.
Who it's for
This service suits children facing one or more of these challenges:
- Sensory processing difficulties or unbalanced responses to surrounding stimuli
- Challenges with fine motor skills
- Difficulties with self-care and daily-living skills
- Limited participation in activities at home or school
- A need to integrate sensory needs into the ABA plan
How sessions work
The service moves through clear steps, from the first meeting to the plan handover:
First meeting & information gathering
The therapist meets the parents to discuss concerns and goals, gathers the developmental, medical, and sensory history, and reviews any previous reports and assessments.
Clinical review
The therapist prepares the initial consultation report and a summary of clinical observations, reviews the child's sensory profile, and sets the priorities and target areas.
Report & sensory diet
A written occupational therapy report, an individual sensory diet, home recommendations and strategies, and proposed treatment goals with next steps.
Integration with the ABA program
If the child is enrolled in the ABA program, the two teams collaborate to fold sensory needs into the plan — sensory regulation breaks may be added inside sessions per the child's needs.
What to expect
- A written occupational therapy report documenting the assessment findings
- An individual sensory diet designed around your child's needs
- Practical recommendations and strategies you apply at home
- Proposed treatment goals and clear next steps
- Collaboration with the ABA team and ongoing follow-up, with recommendations adjusted as your child progresses
