Observation Session
This is the minimum requirement when a new client is introduced to our service to allow the therapist to familiarise themselves with the child and to exercise independent judgement. A report is not included and is suitable for children that have been previously assessed and caregivers are looking to start therapy immediately.

Tribunal Assessment
Tribunal assessments involve a comprehensive evaluation of the child's sensory, neurodevelopmental, and functional abilities. The assessment generates evidence supporting the child's special educational needs, ultimately aiming to secure tailored education, accommodations, and/or therapy for the child. Assessments can take place either in our premises in Harley Street or within the child’s home or school settings.

Educational Health & Care Plan (EHCP)
The assessment aims to identify the child'sSensory, Physical and Neurodevelopmentalneeds and determine the Occupational Therapysupport required to meet those needseffectively. The outcome is a thorough reportthat outlines the child's educational, health,and social needs, along with the specificprovisions and therapy support to address

THE SENSORY INTEGRATION &PRAXIS TESTS (SIPT)
These 17 tests are designed to assess sensory integration processes that arefundamental to learning and behaviour. This standardised assessment toolevaluates various aspects of sensory processing, including tactile, visual, andauditory perception, as well as vestibular and proprioceptive functions. TheSIPT help to uncover underlying factors that may impact a child's learning, behaviour, and overall functioning.Results from the SIPT can inform intervention planning, guiding thedevelopment of targeted strategies to support sensory processing challengesand promote more effective participation in daily and school activities – inclinic only
