Developmental Assessments

Early intervention is key!

  • Should you suspect that your baby or young child is not developing as you would anticipate, or if you are concerned that something might not be quite on track, a screening assessment or a full developmental assessment might be necessary.
  • An assessment based on a sound understanding of the child’s Sensory Integration is essential.

Difficulties with sensory integration can impact on children’s behaviour, sleep, eating, attention and concentration as well as impacting on their ability to form and maintain relationships, to learn effectively in school and to be flexible and resilient.

  • I offer a full developmental assessment which includes assessment of gross and fine motor development, development of visual perception, pre-reading and pre-writing skills in younger children, assessment of the child’s attention and concentration, as well as social and emotional development. The assessment is tailored according to the child’s age and needs.

Following the assessment, I will meet with parents to offer feedback on my findings and to discuss recommendations, including lifestyle changes, and a possible therapy plan.
