Below are our most popular appointments:
DCD Assessment
Assessed in Clinic
An assessment is conducted using the MABC-2, a standardised and formally recognised assessment tool used by paediatricians. The assessment package comprises various components, including pre-assessment questionnaires, a 60-minute assessment session, and a written report with recommendations (taking approximately 3 hours). Additionally, if necessary, there is an option for a telephone or remote feedback session (lasting half an hour) to discuss the report.
Handwriting Assessment
Assessed in choice of location
We conduct an assessment using the Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting, a standardised and formal assessment tool. This tool is especially effective in providing evidence for access arrangements for Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Tests and for General Qualifications. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in identifying children with handwriting difficulties and offers pertinent information for planning intervention.
Paediatric Full Assessment
One or Two Locations (Home and/or School)
We conduct formal assessments and clinical observations to actively identify difficulties in sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, visual perception, and self-care. The comprehensive assessment process includes pre-assessment questionnaires, 90–120 minute assessment sessions at each location, and the preparation of a written report with recommendations (taking approximately 3 hours). Additionally, if necessary, there is an option for face-to-face or remote feedback sessions to discuss the report.
Adult Functional assessment
Assessed in choice of location
During a home visit, you will receive personalised OT advice tailored to your unique circumstances.

Following the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report with detailed recommendations and information on potential retailers for equipment procurement. Please note that there may be extra charges if detailed specifications and drawings are necessary.
