What happens during an occupational therapy assessment?

An occupational therapy assessment involves a combination of standardised tests, observations, and discussions with parents or caregivers to understand a child's strengths and challenges. The therapist evaluates motor coordination, sensory processing, fine motor skills, and self-care abilities. This assessment provides insight into a child's developmental needs and helps create a tailored therapy plan to support their growth.
How long does occupational therapy take to show results?

The length of therapy varies based on a child's individual needs, developmental goals, and frequency of sessions. Some children may see progress within a few months, while others may require long-term support. Occupational therapy is a gradual process that focuses on skill-building and developing independence over time, with progress depending on consistency and reinforcement at home.
