Evaluation:
The occupational therapy evaluation is conducted with an informal/playful approach to draw out your child’s highest level of skill. I incorporate parents’ input, a critical contribution to the evaluation process, including the possibility of participating in the evaluation session. We also discover at this time together some enriching activities your child may want to seek out at home.
Evaluation Meeting and Written Report:
A meeting to discuss evaluation results may involve any adults of the parents’ choice including educators and caretakers. An evaluation report is provided, either a short summary or a full report as requested by parents.
Follow-up Therapy Session:
One single follow-up session is enough to demonstrate engaging activities that develop areas of concern identified in the evaluation that you can pursue at home.
Ongoing Sessions:
Short term or longer term occupational therapy sessions provide more intensive support to lessen your child’s frustration, bring significant developmental gains, and build critical skills such as letter formation, laces tying, and scissors control.
I am a BlueCross BlueShield provider.
Consultation with school professionals may involve demonstration of child-friendly techniques that expedite skill development and expand a student’s ability to participate in school curriculum. Consultation may also include an open discussion with the adults in a child’s life to address how to approach a student’s challenges, and monitor and identify gains. This may include Evaluation and Re-evaluation Meetings, Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings, as well as informal meetings.
I have presented on a range of topics in several areas of sensory-motor development and visual-fine motor development. Over the years I have presented to groups of educators, community professionals, occupational therapists, and parents, with an emphasis on experiential learning, demonstration, and interactive discussion. Please refer to my resume for workshops and presentations I have given. I am happy to build a custom presentation or workshop to suit your needs.
