Initial assessments may be completed by one clinician or collaboratively across occupational therapy, speech pathology, and counselling, depending on individual needs. Assessments can be completed in a single session or spread over multiple days to ensure comfort and the most accurate understanding of strengths and challenges. Using observation, play-based and structured tasks, and caregiver input, we assess areas such as communication, speech, language, motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and daily living skills. The focus is on understanding how and why difficulties may be occurring.
