SCHOOL VISITS & OBSERVATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
Let us empower your staff member to use tool and strategies to help support the child they are working with in accessing school life. School based (this includes preschools, montessoris, primary, secondary schools etc) observations and assessments are carried out for a variety of different reasons, some of these may include but are not limited to
- It may be part of the process that a parent has started with our OT or
- There may be a child in your class that you want to learn how to best support or
- Your setting is interested in running small groups to support children with their play, motor or sensory skills.
- A child in your setting has been granted the use of an iPad/Laptop and you need guidance around using assistive technology
A parental interview will often be carried out prior to the assessment and teacher interviews will be carried out as necessary. A full report with recommendations will be provided. Additional fees for travel costs will apply.
PARENT EDUCATION, TRAINING & WORKSHOPS VIA ORGANISATIONS (CHARITIES, CLUBES, AGENCIES ETC)
