Details.
An in-depth occupational therapy assessment considers physical abilities, cognitive and perceptual skills, emotional and social factors, functional goals, and the environmental context. The process includes hands-on observations, standardised tools, client and family interviews, and trials with potential assistive technology and devices. Occupational therapists work with clients, families, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, and suppliers to trial equipment, refine choices, train users, and support funding applications. Follow-ups help ensure devices remain effective as needs evolve.
