What Can I Expect From an Occupational Therapy Assessment at CTI?
It is very important to determine what the functional difficulties are for your child and why they are occurring. Our occupational therapists perform very comprehensive assessments that evaluate your child’s sensory processing (including modulation, discrimination, postural control, and praxis), behavior, attention, fine motor, gross motor, oral motor, visual-motor integration, self-care, play, leisure, school and social skills.
Recommendations may include direct treatment, consultation, and/or referrals for additional assessments from other disciplines.
Educational Psychology
Psycho-educational Assessment
• Is your child performing below his or her ability level?
• Do you suspect that your child learns differently or may have a learning disability?
• Does your child struggle socially, emotionally, or behaviorally at school or home?
Our Licensed Educational Psychologists are trained in evaluating your child’s learning strengths and weaknesses in order to determine the most effective intervention approaches. We conduct psycho-educational evaluations to assess for all areas of suspected disability with the goal of providing insights into your child’s learning style and needs, so that he or she can reach his true potential. We offer comprehensive evaluations as well as abbreviated assessments, depending on the referral questions and concerns. As school psychologists with extensive experience in the public and private schools, we are able to provide additional follow-up consultation when needed, to assist you and the school in implementing positive interventions and supports for your child.
Educational Consultation
• Are you effectively advocating for your child’s special needs?
• Do you need support at your child’s school meetings to ensure that your voice is heard you’re your child’s needs are being met (IEPs, 504s, SSTs)?
• Do you need an objective opinion about your child’s program and services?
As your educational consultant, we complete a thorough review of your child’s history, program, and unique learning needs, and provide you with recommendations to ensure that your child is receiving an appropriate education. We consult with you and the school team regarding strategies, accommodations, goals, and services that your child needs in order to be successful. We work closely with you throughout the IEP process to ensure that the IEP is comprehensive and that you understand your child’s educational rights. Having worked in the public and non-public school systems, we know that a positive working relationship between you and the school team is beneficial to your child. We work collaboratively with the schools and outside agencies to help access the services that your child needs.
Counseling
• Do your child’s social-emotional difficulties interfere with his or her learning?
• Does your child need strategies for effectively coping with his or her disability or learning difference?
• Is homework time causing excessive stress in your household?
We provide one to one and group counseling for children to assist with their social-emotional adjustment in a variety of areas. From disorganization to anger management difficulties, we help your child identify and understand his strengths and challenges and learn effective coping strategies. In addition, we offer parent-child counseling to help build a strong, cooperative relationship for tackling homework and school projects together.
