Services We Provide

Pediatric OT helps children develop skills for daily activities. We provide assessment and intervention to for developmental delays, neurological conditions and learning difficulties to name a few.

COMPREHENSIVE  ASSESSMENT

1 and half hour assessment consisting of standardised and non-standardised assessments.

 

We get a good picture of the individual's overall functioning and areas to work on including sensory

 processing, visual perceptual skills, fine motor and gross motor skills.

​

This includes: 

  • The assessment

  • A full report (outlining your child's strengths, areas to work on, and our recommendations)

  • 1 hour feedback meeting with you to discuss the report, usually within a week after the assessment

​

Some children do not cope with this format and the assessment can be split into a few sessions if needed. This is decided on a case by case basis.

EASI  ASSESSMENT

​​The Evaluation Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) is a new assessment tool being developed to use to evaluate Sensory Integration difficulties and dysfunction.

 

 It is a new diagnostic, and descriptive assessment tool, based on the work of Jean Ayres, that has been developed to assess the key functions of sensory integration.he influence of culture, language, comprehension and prior experience was minimised as far as possible and the EASI has norms based on the performance of children internationally.

 

Final norms will be based on between 6500-7000 children from over 60 countries. South Africa formed part of the International Normative Data Collection process which means that a representative sample of our children is included in the norms, which makes it a much fairer and just test to use for South African children.

Sensory Integration Therapy

Sensory integration therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help children who have difficulty processing sensory information and developing praxis. This type of therapy aims to improve a child's ability to respond to sensory stimuli through playful and engaging activities. By using techniques that encourage movement, touch, and other sensory experiences, therapists help children develop better sensory processing skills, which can enhance their overall functioning and confidence in everyday situations. Ultimately, sensory integration therapy supports children in learning how to navigate their sensory environments more effectively.

​

An assessment will be done first, and then therapy can be started.
