Have you ever wondered whether your child is ready to be screened for occupational therapy? It is more common than you think, and every child should have the opportunity to be screened if they are having trouble in specific areas of development. Often times, your child’s pediatrician will determine whether your child should be screened for therapy or not. However, it is even more common for parents to notice some possible developmental red flags in their child - after all, parents know their child best! Common areas of development that are often screened include: gross motor play, coordination, fine motor skills, sensory processing, nutrition, and growth.
At Champion Pediatric Therapy, we are the experts in childhood development. Our highly skilled therapists are always available to schedule a complimentary consultation and tour. We walk with you through our clinic and program and address any direct concerns you may have. This is an exceptional screening opportunity to not only see what we have to offer, but also for us to guide you along your journey with your child. If parents are having trouble teaching their kids life skills activities, then there may be extra support needed.
Standard screening and evaluations are made to identify a child’s strengths and weaknesses. The scoring of the assessment, along with professional clinical analysis will determine whether your child qualifies for occupational therapy. If your child does qualify, then our therapists will establish a unique approach of treatment that can help benefit your child and provide you excellent parent education to help your child along the way.
