Occupational Therapy: Skills for the Job of Living

Occupational Therapy Evaluations

We provide comprehensive Occupational Therapy evaluations for children of all ages. Our evaluations are performed by Colorado Licensed Occupational Therapists who are certified through the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) and are also members of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). Our therapists utilize a variety of standardized tests, informal assessment tools, parent input, and clinical judgement to assess your child’s abilities.

Read below for more information on Summit Pediatric Therapy’s evaluation process.

During the evaluation, the occupational therapist will:

  • Talk with you about your child and your concerns
  • Take a medical history of issues related to your child’s occupational therapy needs
  • Discuss any previous therapies you have tried
  • Ask questions about any problems or concerns related to your child’s behavior and functional skills
  • Assess your child’s current level of functioning in the areas of
    • Fine motor skills
    • Activities of daily living
    • Perceptual skills
    • Sensory integration
    • Executive functioning skills

Evaluations will conclude with a preliminary plan of what to expect next. Once formal tests are scored, therapists will call you to discuss findings and therapeutic plans.

What Occupational Therapy Offers Your Child

For children, Occupational Therapy focuses on developing specific life skills rather than job-related functions. Through specific exercises and task-related activities, occupational therapists help your child learn and gain these critical skills. We comprehensively treat the whole child, while focusing on the family’s needs and goals. Our occupational therapists help each child become more independent and successful in everyday life. This includes dressing, brushing teeth, coloring, writing, listening, playing, and interacting with family and friends.

Our programs are individualized to address each child’s unique needs and challenges. And when skill and strength cannot be developed or improved, we work with your child and family to develop creative alternatives and solutions to achieve functional goals.

Parent Testimonials
As a parent of a child with autism, I've always wanted him to be able to create meaningful friendships with kids his age. From the first time my son walked into Summit Pediatric Therapy, he was made to feel warm and welcome. His pediatric therapists worked tirelessly to help him develop the skills to start creating friendships. We are thankful for the life skills they helped him develop.
