Initial Evaluation, Report Review
An Occupational Therapy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation process designed to understand an individual's needs, abilities, and challenges related to daily activities and functional performance. This assessment typically integrates both standardized and informal evaluation methods to create a well-rounded picture of the individual's occupational strengths and areas needing improvement. The culmination of this assessment is a detailed written report that outlines findings, goals, and recommendations for intervention.

Treatment Session
A pediatric occupational therapy treatment session is a structured yet dynamic interaction designed to address the developmental, functional, and emotional needs of children. The primary aim is to enhance a child’s ability to participate in daily activities and achieve their developmental milestones through engaging, age-appropriate interventions. Each session is tailored to the child’s specific goals and needs, incorporating both therapeutic activities and playful elements to maintain engagement and motivation.
Site Visit
A pediatric occupational therapy site visit to a child’s school or daycare environment provides valuable insights into how the child functions in their natural setting and allows for collaboration with key members of the child's developmental team. The goal is to observe the child’s daily routines, interactions, and challenges within the context of their educational or social environment, and to work with educators and caregivers to address identified needs.
Introductory Consultation
An introductory pediatric occupational therapy consultation is an initial meeting designed to assess a child’s needs, discuss their developmental milestones, and set the stage for future therapeutic interventions. This consultation provides an opportunity for the occupational therapist (OT) to gather essential information, establish a collaborative relationship with the child and their family, and create a tailored plan to support the child’s growth and development.
Follow-Up Consultation
A follow-up pediatric occupational therapy consultation is a scheduled meeting that takes place after an initial assessment or a series of therapy sessions. The purpose of this consultation is to review the child’s progress, evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, and make necessary adjustments to the therapy plan. It provides an opportunity for the occupational therapist (OT) to discuss achievements, address any ongoing concerns, and set new goals with the child and their family.
