The IDS Occupational Therapy intake matches a licensed, skilled and experienced IDS Occupational Therapist with a child and/or family in order to assess a child’s needs in the motor and developmental areas. With our online clinical intake, families and schools report increased confidence in understanding a child’s specific needs, as well as a greater ability to support children in learning and practicing new functional skills for increased academic success.

The IDS Occupational Therapy Assessment includes:

- A clinical intake with a Licensed Occupational Therapist;

- Standardized and Normative Assessments (in multiple environments, as needed);

- A detailed record review;

- A detailed video review as needed (the therapist may identify and request multiple video clips of the child engaging in various activities in order to assess motor development and other areas) for the purpose of identifying specific areas of need.

- A robust child-centered plan including specific interventions, strategies and data collection ideas to implement immediately and effectively, and recommendations for therapy, if needed.

If the need for ongoing Occupational Therapy sessions is indicated in the initial intake, IDS can work with the family and school to begin ongoing online therapy sessions in school or at home targeting all necessary intervention areas. Online sessions are interactive and engaging, and the IDS Occupational Therapist communicates with the teachers and/or caregivers of a child in order to share ideas and strategies to support the child’s needs outside of the clinical sessions.
