Santa Barbara Occupational Therapy Assessment

A full in-depth occupational therapy assessment consists of multiple elements, including:

Observation

We use clinical reasoning developed over years in the field of occupational therapy to determine areas of strength and weakness.

Standardized testing

We use formal testing to compare your child’s skills to other children the same age.

Reporting

We write a report so that you better understand your child’s strengths and weaknesses which you can share with other professionals that work with your child, including doctors and teachers.

Parent Consultation

We review the written report with you and answer any questions that you have about our findings and recommendations.

Goals and Treatment Plan

We draft goals with your input and prepare a treatment plan for your child to work on during direct treatment.
