Occupational Therapy Assessment

Before beginning treatment,  the occupational therapy team at Bay Area SpeechWorks and Occupational Therapy (BASW/OT)  provides a complete assessment of the child-- identifying both strengths and opportunities for development.  We know that there are can be multiple issues at play, and the best way to help your child begins with a good understanding of each individual.  We work with children with the following disorders:
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorders
  • Sensory Processing Disorders
  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Self-regulation Concerns
  • Attention Deficit Disorders
  • Down Syndrome
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Developmental Disabilities
  • Gross and Fine Motor Delays

Occupational Therapy Treatment

Once an assessment is complete, we  begin treatment.   We focus on the eight senses, self-regulation and mindfulness & yoga.  Many of our treatments take place in a traditional OT clinic setting. In addition, we offer a unique opportunity for children to engage in treatment sessions in outdoor settings such as Old Mill Park or Rodeo Beach. 
In our Occupational Therapy program, we provide interventions to address the following challenges:
  • Sensory Processing Disorder
  • Social Emotional Challenges, including self esteem, anxiety and depression
  • Self Regulation, including anger management
  • Social Skills
  • Handwriting Skills
  • Fine Motor Skills
  • Visual Motor Skills
  • Visual Perceptual Challenges
  • Activities of Daily Living
  • Motor Planning

​Occupational Therapy Intervention

In addition to individual treatment, we offer OT based therapy groups that utilize interaction between peers - both children and adults alike. Interventions are recommended to best meet individual need. In addition, we provide a unique type of OT through interventions outdoors. We provide the following options:

TESTIMONIAL: 
"Through her OT sessions, Corry has taught our son invaluable problem-solving skills; how to approach motor planning exercises to help his body get stronger and more coordinated; as well as recognizing and talking about emotions to help him self-regulate. OT with Corry has been so beneficial for our son.  We’ve seen him grow in leaps and bounds.  Even when he is faced with new challenges, he now has the self-confidence to persevere and work through them."
