The therapist will gather information from the child's parents or caregivers about the child's medical history, developmental milestones, and any concerns or challenges they may be experiencing.

The therapist will observe the child's physical movements, gross and fine motor skills, balance, coordination, posture, and overall functional abilities.

Various standardised assessment tools may be used to evaluate specific aspects of the child's functional capacity, such as motor skills, sensory processing, visual perception, and self-care abilities.

For younger children or those with developmental delays, play-based assessments may be used to observe the child's interactions, problem-solving abilities, and social skills.

If the child is experiencing sensory processing challenges, the therapist may conduct a sensory integration assessment to understand how the child processes and responds to sensory information from their environment.

The child may be asked to perform age-appropriate functional activities or tasks, such as dressing, feeding, writing, or playing, to assess their abilities and identify any difficulties they may have.

The therapist may evaluate the child's endurance and tolerance for physical activities and identify any fatigue or limitations.

Input from parents, caregivers, and teachers is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child's functional abilities in various settings.

If relevant, the therapist may collaborate with teachers or school personnel to understand the child's functional capacity in an educational setting and identify any accommodations or modifications needed.

After completing the assessment, the therapist will compile the findings and recommendations into a comprehensive report. This report may include a summary of the child's strengths, challenges, specific needs, and recommendations for therapy, interventions, or educational support.
