PAEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
At Bespoke OT, we provide comprehensive paediatric and developmental assessments from our Booragoon (Perth WA) clinic, helping families gain a clear understanding of their child's development, strengths and support needs.
We also provide assessment and supporting documentation to teenagers in high school requiring additional educational supports and accommodations which will enable them to more confidently participate in assessments, exams, and testing.
Every child develops at their own pace, but sometimes parents, teachers or health professionals notice differences in areas such as communication, emotional regulation, attention, learning, play, self-care pre-writing, handwriting, or motor skills. A developmental assessment can help identify why your child may be experiencing challenges and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to support them at home, school and in the community.
Our experienced Occupational Therapists take a warm, child-centred approach, recognising that every child is unique. We look beyond a diagnosis to understand how your child's development impacts their everyday life, participation and independence. We offer private clinic-based assessments coupled with school-based observations, consultation and liaison.
-
Our paediatric developmental assessments explore:
Fine motor skills, handwriting and visual motor integration
Gross motor skills, balance and coordination
Sensory processing and sensory regulation
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Attention, concentration and executive functioning
Play skills and social participation
Self-care skills such as dressing, toileting and feeding
School readiness and classroom functioning
Independence in everyday activities
Functional participation at home, school and in the community
Our adolescent assessments focus more broadly on the demands of the curriculum on the young person, and we help you pinpoint both remedial and compensatory tactics to assist them to participate in school.
Where appropriate, we utilise standardised assessment tools alongside clinical observations, parent interviews and information from schools or other treating professionals to build a comprehensive understanding of your child's or teenager’s needs.
-
A developmental assessment may be suitable for children and adolescents who:
Are experiencing developmental delays
Have concerns relating to Autism (ASD), ADHD or sensory processing
Are struggling with emotional regulation or behaviour
Find everyday tasks more difficult than expected for their age
Are experiencing challenges at school
Need support with school readiness, transition to high school, or other transitions
Require documentation to guide therapy, educational planning, extra time for assessments
-
Our assessment process is designed to be relaxed, engaging and family-centred. We take the time to get to know your child while gathering a detailed understanding of their developmental profile.
Following the assessment, you'll receive:
A comprehensive written report
An explanation of your child's strengths and areas of difficulty
Individualised recommendations for home, school and therapy
Guidance on appropriate supports, interventions and next steps
Our goal is not simply to identify challenges, but to provide families with practical strategies and a clear pathway forward.
-
Every family receives a comprehensive written report outlining:
Your child's strengths and support needs
Functional impact on daily life
Practical home and school strategies
Therapy recommendations
Suggested referrals or further assessment where appropriate
Our goal is to provide families with practical answers, clear direction and confidence about the next steps.
