Assessed in Clinic
An assessment is conducted using the MABC-2, a standardised and formally recognised assessment tool used by paediatricians. The assessment package comprises various components, including pre-assessment questionnaires, a 60-minute assessment session, and a written report with recommendations (taking approximately 3 hours). Additionally, if necessary, there is an option for a telephone or remote feedback session (lasting half an hour) to discuss the report.

Assessed in choice of location

We conduct an assessment using the Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting, a standardised and formal assessment tool. This tool is especially effective in providing evidence for access arrangements for Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Tests and for General Qualifications. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in identifying children with handwriting difficulties and offers pertinent information for planning intervention.

One or Two Locations (Home and/or School)

We conduct formal assessments and clinical observations to actively identify difficulties in sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, visual perception, and self-care. The comprehensive assessment process includes pre-assessment questionnaires, 90–120 minute assessment sessions at each location, and the preparation of a written report with recommendations (taking approximately 3 hours). Additionally, if necessary, there is an option for face-to-face or remote feedback sessions to discuss the report.
