Children’s Occupational Therapy
We offer a range of Occupational Therapy assessment and support options to help your child and you.
Each option has been carefully created to help you see the scope of what we offer, which can guide you to decide what is right for your child and you. We will, of course, talk you through any queries when you make contact with us.
Occupational Therapy Developmental & Sensory Assessments
We provide tailored assessments to explore and identify your child’s developmental and sensory strengths and needs.
Our assessments come with three choices for how they are reported
A full, very thorough report - this can be used to support an EHCP application
An abridged report
An emailed summary
Package One
A full and in depth assessment of all aspects of your child’s developmental and sensory processing needs. This assessment includes all those listed under Package Two.
The outcomes will be immediately fed back to you and your child’s school at a meeting or at a time to better suit you, followed by provision of a report with recommendations.
This package of support can be used to support and inform the EHCP process. This assessment can be reduced in cost if a summary email of the findings is requested instead of a full report.
