Occupational Assessments

At Utage Child Development Centre, our Occupational Assessments help identify how well your child is able to perform everyday tasks needed at home, in school, and in social settings. These evaluations give us a deep understanding of your child’s motor skills, sensory processing, attention, and self-care abilities.

What Are Occupational Assessments?

Occupational assessments are structured evaluations conducted by trained occupational therapists to assess:

• Fine motor skills (grasping, writing, using tools)

• Gross motor coordination (balance, walking, jumping)

• Sensory integration (response to sound, touch, movement)

• Self-care skills (dressing, feeding, toileting)

• Cognitive abilities like focus, planning, and organization

• Social participation and emotional regulation

The goal is to determine areas where your child may need support to function more independently in daily life.

When Should You Consider an Occupational Assessment?

Your child may benefit from an assessment if they:

• Struggle with tasks like buttoning clothes, tying laces, or using a spoon

• Avoid certain textures, sounds, or environments

• Show poor balance, coordination, or frequent falls

• Are unable to sit still or concentrate on activities

• Have difficulty with handwriting, cutting, or drawing

• Seem overwhelmed by routine tasks or transitions

• Have been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or developmental delay

What to Expect During the Assessment

Our therapists use play-based, age-appropriate tasks to evaluate your child’s:

• Physical abilities

• Sensory responses

• Attention and behavior

• Functional performance in daily life

Parents are also consulted to share concerns and observations. A detailed report is provided, followed by a personalized therapy plan if needed.
