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 them. We use both standardized and non-standardized evaluations to assess your child's abilities, strengths, as well as challenges - this assessment is necessary so we can outline recommendations regarding next steps, including goals & strategies to work on, should you chose to begin treatment with One Step at a Time Occupational Therapy.
-
Family meeting: it is organized following the assessment process to discuss observations & findings. During the meeting, we also make sure to include your personal input regarding what we have observed, and together, we work on determining the best future goals for your child. If you chose to continue with us, a first Occupational Therapy follow-up session will be scheduled for the following week.
-
Global Assessment Report (only upon request) : If you wish, an O.T. report can be sent out to you within 4-6 weeks of the assessment - it will include 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 achieve 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.
​
It is divided in 3 steps:

A Clinical Consultation Report is sent out to you within 4-6 weeks of the consultation. It includes four sections : activities your child participated in & detailed observations, comprehensive analysis of the tasks observed, recommended goals to work on in the near future, based on your concerns and personal input, as well as recommended strategies to acheive the aforementionned goals.
-
Family meeting (only upon request): A family meeting can be organized to go over the details of the report, if needed.
Therapy sessions
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
In-clinic sessions are very beneficial for children due to the structured setting and environment. It is also a great opportunity to trial different sensory equipment in the clinic's FULLY EQUIPPED SENSORY GYM!
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 throughout 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 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!
