Assessment and consulting
The assessment is carried out by a team of experts consisting of educational rehabilitators, physiotherapists, functional vision diagnostics specialists, and, when necessary, an occupational therapist, speech therapist, and psychologist.
The assessment is transdisciplinary, comprehensive, and individualized, and after each assessment, the members of the expert team compare their observations and reach joint conclusions in order to establish the foundation for determining the optimal individual program.
The atmosphere during the assessment is always relaxed. Therapists ensure that parents receive emotional support so they can relax, which positively affects the child’s behavior during the assessment.
The assessment is conducted through observation of the child’s behavior during play; the child is not forced to complete tasks, but important developmental progress is identified through observation and the unobtrusive structuring of the environment and play.
The assessment process is conducted as follows:
- Interview with parents
- Data collection
- Establishing a safe therapeutic environment
- Assessment of the initial condition by developmental areas - using specific procedures and tools, experts from different professional backgrounds observe the child’s reactions and interactions across various areas of development
- Writing a professional opinion with recommendations - based on the initial assessment and discussions with the parents, an expert opinion and recommendations are prepared for working with the child in specific developmental areas
- Creation of an individualized educational and habilitation plan
- Assessment results from all examiners
- Parents’ observations
- Cooperation between parents and the necessary professionals
