Assessments for Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy
If you have not had occupational therapy or speech therapy before, or you’ve had a bit of a break from it, it may be required that you book an assessment prior to commencing therapy sessions.
Assessments include initial meeting, assessment sessions, report writing and outcome meeting.
The therapist will determine the number of hours during your initial meeting and advise you at that time.
Assessments are charged based upon the hours that are required and the complexity of report that is produced (summary vs comprehensive functional assessment). Please note that functional assessments (over 12 years old) typically take between 10 to 15 hours. Assessments for under 12 is generally 6 to 8 hours.
