Types of Assessments
Children who have disabilities and special health care needs are often subject to several types of assessments meant to better identify their area(s) of need. In an ongoing series, WarmLine will share different assessments, what they look for and how that information is used to support the child.  This month: What happens in an occupational therapy evaluation. Does your child struggle with motor skills? Find out what occupational therapists look at in an OT evaluation, including gross motor skills, fine motor skills and sensory processing issues. Plus, learn what the evaluation results might include and next steps based on those results in this video from Understood.org. Watch Now
