What does an occupational therapist evaluate?
Occupational therapy examines the tasks facing a child on a daily basis and what is affecting the child’s ability to perform these tasks. Such tasks include self-care skills, social interaction with peers, fine motor skills for completion of age-appropriate craft or school skills, strength and endurance to be able to participate in age-appropriate motor activities. Through standardized testing and fun, engaging activities to a child can be able to achieve his or her maximum potential through adaptation, environmental modification, or practice of newly acquired skills. Keep in mind as children grow and develop some difficulties can be expected and are considered a normal part of development. Please call to schedule a free, no obligation consultation to discuss your concerns with one of our staff therapists and to learn more about all of the great things The Shandy Clinic has to offer.
