Assessments

Global Assessment

Clinical consultation

This assessment is designed for children & teens who wish to begin regular Occupational Therapy sessions, or for families who would like to determine if Occupational Therapy is a good fit to meet their child's needs.

It is divided in 3 steps :

In-person clinical assessment: Meeting with your child for the first time is all about taking the time to get to know each other. I use both standardized and non-standardized evaluations to assess your child's abilities, strengths, as well as challenges - this assessment is necessary so I can outline recommendations regarding next steps, including goals & strategies to work on, should you chose to begin treatment with One Step at a Time O.T. Services.
Family meeting: it is organized the week following the assessment to discuss my observations & findings. During the meeting, I also make sure to include your personal input regarding what I have observed, and together, we work on determing the best future goals for your child. If you chose to continue with me as your service provider, a first Occupational Therapy session will be scheduled for the following week.
A Global Assessment Report is sent out to you within 4-6 weeks of the assessment - it includes four sections : activities your child participated in & detailed observations, comprehensive analysis of the tasks observed, the goals that we have determined together during the family meeting, as well as recommended strategies to acheive the aforementionned goals.

A clinical consultation is an 'Assessment-Only' type of service designed for families who are not ready/do not wish to begin ongoing Occupational Therapy treatment, but seek support regarding specific areas of their child's life, and would like to receive recommendations and strategies to incorporate at home, at school and/or in other environments.

Therapy sessions

therapy

Should you chose to pursue treatment with One Step at a Time O.T. Services, an Occupational Therapy Care Plan - including goals, strategies and recommendations for the next steps - will be put in place with your personal collaboration.

Ongoing regular treatment can be offered to you in 3 different ways, as described below. The format of the sessions will be tailored to meet your needs; please note that we can combine all 3 formats within the O.T. Care Plan if needed.

In-Clinic Sessions

Virtual Sessions

Not available

This session format is perfect for children & families who are not able to drop off/pick-up their child in person for an in-clinic session, and/or for children & families who wish to work on goals virtually, through educational games, and more!

Community Outings

Home Sessions

Community outings can be organized whenever during the year, if necessary, to work on functional goals in your child's community. For example, if you wish for your child to learn how to cross the street, pay for items independently in a grocery store, learn to cope with anxiety when visiting new places and new environments, or to simply work on gross motor goals in a community park, this session format can be a very good option !

Home sessions are perfect for children & families wishing to work on functional goals within their home environment! It is also beneficial for children who are anxious to meet me for the first time, or for children who are limited physically and function best at home!

school

School Visits & Team meetings

Team work and collaboration is extremely important for me. I take the time to complete school/daycare visits (if necessary) in order to observe your child in his learning environment, and I provide recommandations to the team to assure that your child's strengths and skills are generalized outside of therapy sessions.

I am also happy to meet with other members of your child's team, as his Behavioural Consultat, Speech Language Pathologist, Physiotherapist, or any other team member you find beneficial for me to meet!
