Initial Evaluation

The first step in the occupational therapy process is your initial assessment. It’s an in depth evaluation that includes a personalized interview and an assessment of your current functional skills. Your functional level includes physical, cognitive, perceptual, and psychological status.

The personalized interview will allow us to discover the following and more:

• Your current roles and participation

• Your environment and any equipment you are already using

• Your day to day routines

• Occupations that you are already engaging in

• Exploration of your core values and spirituality

After completing the evaluation we will determine your client centered goals and an estimated length of time to complete them.

Evaluation is a tool that OTs use during all treatment sessions. It is ongoing and adjustments can be made to your treatment along the way as needed.
