Occupational Therapy (OT) Assessments & Services

Building Independence Through Sensory and Functional Insight

Occupational Therapy plays a vital role in supporting how individuals engage with the world around them. At ABA ConnectEd, our Occupational Therapy assessments are designed to understand how sensory processing, motor skills, and functional abilities influence daily participation. We look beyond isolated challenges to explore how these factors affect learning, self care, emotional regulation, and independence across everyday environments.

Our assessments take a detailed and practical view of how individuals experience and respond to their surroundings. We explore sensory modulation and integration, fine and gross motor coordination, postural control, and the functional skills required for daily routines. By understanding how these areas interact, we are able to identify both strengths and barriers that impact participation at home, in education, and within the wider community.

What Our OT Assessments Explore in Practice

Our assessment process draws on observation, structured activities, and collaboration with families and professionals who support the individual daily. This approach allows us to build an accurate picture of functional abilities as they present in real life rather than in isolated or artificial settings.

Areas explored within our assessments include

• Sensory processing and sensory regulation

• Fine and gross motor skill development

• Coordination, balance, and postural control

• Functional independence in daily activities

• Environmental and routine based influences on participation

From Assessment to Functional Intervention

Assessment outcomes are translated into personalized intervention plans that focus on improving functional independence and participation. Interventions are practical, achievable, and embedded into daily routines wherever possible. Progress is monitored continuously, allowing therapy to adapt as needs evolve and ensuring that strategies remain relevant and effective over time.

A defining feature of our Occupational Therapy service is its integration within our multidisciplinary model. Our Occupational Therapists work closely with ABA practitioners and Speech and Language Therapists to ensure sensory, motor, and functional strategies are consistently reinforced across all interventions. This collaborative approach supports skill generalisation, reduces fragmented care, and delivers more cohesive and effective outcomes than traditional standalone Occupational Therapy services.
