What is an Occupational Therapy Evaluation?
School-age students are assessed on their ability to function as independently as possible in the school setting based on their potential abilities within their disability. Occupational therapists assess the student’s fine motor skills, visual-perceptual-motor skills, sensory processing skills and self-help skills. Physical therapists assess the student’s walking (ambulation) skills, ability to transfer, ability to utilize classroom desks/lockers, ability to access the cafeteria and restrooms.
Occupational and physical therapists also use clinical observation, clinical judgment, information from teachers, family and student along with standardized testing, as needed, in order to determine a student’s eligibility for services.
