Psychoeducational Evaluation
A psychoeducational assessment includes an evaluation
of cognitive abilities, learning potential, academic achievement, and social-emotional functioning. Psychoeducational evaluations can be useful in the following situations:
Academic underachievement, Determination of eligibility for Special Education services, Attentional Deficits, with consideration of an ADHD diagnosis, Learning difficulties with
determination of a specific learning disorder, and Social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties.
Remedial Education
Remedial Education is basic catch-up education. It helps bridge
the gap between the child’s current skills and the expected skills based on his/her age/grade. It provides academic support to students who are lagging behind in key academic skills. Remedial learning usually focuses on basic literacy (reading and writing) and numeracy skills. Remedial education also focuses on developing good study skills, which are vital for school success.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is a profession that helps people across
their lifespan to do things they want and need to do in their everyday life through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupations are practical and purposeful activities that allow people to live independently and have a sense of identity.
These activities could be essential day-to-day tasks such as self care, work and leisure. Occupational therapists enable people of all ages to live to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent or live better with injury, illness or different abilities.
Occupational therapy is an evidence based practice deeply rooted in science.
OT interventions commonly include helping children with different abilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills,
and providing support for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes .
Occupational Therapists have a whole-person approach to both mental and physical health, and well-being of a person to optimise function and enable individuals to achieve their full potential.
Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children gain independence while also strengthening the development of fine motor skills, sensory skills and perceptual skills.
Occupational therapists will help a child’s role of a playmate, student, friend and perform occupations like play and socialize with others. An OT will evaluate a child’s current skills related to play, school performance and daily activities and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group. OTs help children perform daily activities they may find challenging by addressing sensory, social, behavioral, motor and
environmental issues.
