What does an evaluation consist of?
A background questionnaire is completed by the parent or guardian and appropriate, non-invasive, standardized tests are used for evaluation. These can include: • The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) • Peabody Developmental Motor Scales • Developmental Test of Visual Perception • Wold Sentence Copy Test • Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration • Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Children often find evaluations fun, as they are evaluated in their current occupations, which, for them, are play activities. The entire evaluation takes one to three hours to complete, depending on the age and condition of the child. All information gathered is strictly confidential. A detailed typed report is furnished and, if required, an appropriate therapy plan is formulated and recommended. This includes key goals of therapy and progress reporting.
