Children's Occupational Therapy Silver Package
Introducing our recommended Silver Occupational Therapy Package for £550!
Our Silver package is the perfect option for families or schools who want a comprehensive assessment of a child's needs. This package is designed to give a more in depth analysis of the child's strengths and weakness by using standardised assessment tools. Standardised assessment tools are evidence based assessments allowing us to validate a child's difficulties by using percentiles to determine if your child is scoring within the norms for their development. This is the ideal package for those looking or considering applying for an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) or to support with a diagnostic outcome such as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) commonly known as Dyspraxia. We should note that as Occupational Therapists we do not diagnose but a Doctor will need the results from an Occupational Therapist to Diagnose DCD. Our report can also support the evidence towards other diagnostic criterion which includes sensory processing difficulties like Criterion B.4 of the DSM V criteria for Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
What is included in the Silver package?
Our Silver Package assessment provides everything you need to help your child overcome their challenges and reach their full potential. With a pre-assessment questionnaire and up to 90 minutes of 1:1 assessment, our experienced team will generate a detailed report (PDF) that includes the standardise scores with analytical interpretation, and targeted strategies of support based on your child's strengths and challenges. We'll also provide a 30 minute feedback call to discuss the results and answer any questions you may have. Trust us to help your child thrive.
​
Please note that standardised assessments are not always appropriate or essential for every case. When you contact Therapy Bus LTD we will arrange a call to ensure you are offered the correct package using the assessment tools suitable for your child.
What will be covered in the assessment?
The pre-assessment questionnaire includes questions about medical and family history as well as questions regarding the child's ability with activities of daily living. You may also be asked to complete some standardised questionaries depending on the individual needs highlighted during the free discovery call.
A really important question we ask is for you to identify up to three functional goals you would like the child to achieve. This will help our therapist tailor the 1:1 assessment in order to provide targeted support in achieving a positive out come for the child.
Our Assessment may include:
-
A Standardised Assessment of Handwriting using the DASH (Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting)
-
A Standardised Assessment of Fine and Gross Motor Skills using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children
-
Assessment of Functional Skills
-
Analysis Of Sensory Processing Skills using the Winnie Dunn Sensory Profile 2
-
Class Based Observation
​
Where will the assessment take place?
As occupational therapists we value the role the environment plays in a persons "occupational performance". Therefore we recommend that the assessment takes place in the environment the child needs support in such as the child's school, nursery or home.
What will the report include?
Our detailed report is the perfect tool for parents or schools seeking to gain a better understanding of the child's needs and development. The report includes comprehensive information about their strengths and difficulties, as well as standardised scores (where applicable), and targeted recommendations and strategies.
This report can be used towards evidence for EHCP and can included the Movement ABC, which can be used towards evidence for diagnosing Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (also known as Dyspraxia) as per NICE guidelines. While not as in-depth as our Gold Package, our report is an effective and more affordable solution for parents or school seeking an individualised plan to support their child's success.
