Assessment

In addition to a comprehensive assessment of your childs motor skills/co-ordination, we also look at how your child uses each of their seven senses...

• Touch (tactile sense)
• Movement (vestibular sense)
• Body Awareness (proprioception)
• Sight (Vision and visual perception)
• Smell
• Taste
• Hearing (auditory sense)

Once assessed we can offer specific advice and activities that can help to improve your childs co-ordination skills, sensory processing and, most importantly, their ability to participate in daily activities (self care, school and play/leisure). We prefer to offer advice and activities that will fit into you and your childs lifestyle. We believe that just as adults become tired of repetitive exercises, so do children. Whenever possible we will explain what the underlying difficulty is and give you ideas, hints and tips, reference points for further independent research as well as activities to practice with your child. These are all included in the assessment package.
