Evaluation Process

1. Fill out a caregiver questionnaire which provides the therapists with information regarding your child's past medical history, developmental history, feeding history (if an area of concern) and a sensorimotor profile. In addition, you would include your concerns and reasons for seeking out our services.

2. After a review of the questionnaire, the therapist will determine the specific methods that would be appropriate for evaluating your child.
*Children ages 0 to 4 typically receive a one and a half to two hour evaluation and those 5 and above require approximately 3 hours to evaluate.

3. If you are wanting us to bill their medical insurance a physician's prescription is typically required for us to proceed with an evaluation and
treatment.
*Please contact our office manager for details of this process.

4. Once the intake is received and reviewed by our therapists, an evaluation for your child can be scheduled.

5. The child who is 0 to 3 years of age, will typically receive an evaluation in which the therapist assesses the following areas:
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Sensorimotor functioning
• Self-help skills
• Oral motor/Feeding skills (if a concern)

6. The child/individual who is 5 and older will typically receive an evaluation that includes the assessment of the following:
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Visual motor skills
• Visual perceptual skills
• Ocular motor skills
• Auditory perceptual skills
• Sensorimotor abilities
• Self-help skills

7. Once the therapist has the opportunity to analyze the information received from the standardized assessment, clinical observations and parent questionnaire, they will complete a written report.
*Typically this process can take up to two weeks.

8. Once the report is complete the evaluating therapist will meet with the child's parents/caregivers to discuss the findings and treatment recommendations.
