Why an occupational therapy assessment?
Occupational therapy (OT) assessments are professional evaluations designed to understand how physical, mental, or cognitive conditions affect a person’s ability to complete daily activities. These comprehensive assessments include functional observation, standardised tests, and home environment visits to identify challenges and propose effective solutions.
Activities of daily living (ADLs)
We test basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating to identify areas needing support and strategies for improvement.
Motor skills evaluation
Our assessments measure balance, coordination, and physical strength for both children and adults, aiding in targeted intervention plans.
Cognition and safety
We evaluate memory, problem-solving, and executive function during real-world tasks like cooking or managing money, ensuring safety and independence.
Who benefits from our assessments?
Occupational therapy assessments are suitable for individuals of any age who face challenges with daily activities due to physical illness, injury, developmental delays, mental health conditions, or the natural process of aging. We tailor our approach to meet diverse needs.
The assessment process
An occupational therapy (OT) assessment carefully examines how well you perform everyday tasks, also known as "occupations." The occupational therapist evaluates your physical, mental, and social skills, as well as your home or school environment, to find safe and effective ways to help you live more independently. We also consider how an injury or illness is affecting your abilities.
