Joint assessments are typically with Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists, and are beneficial for young children where families may have concerns at nursery or school. Therapists can determine your child’s underlying difficulties around attention, behaviour, regulation and general delays.
The assessment involves reviewing background information, consulting with parents and caregivers and use of formal and informal assessment tools as well as observation. Following the assessment, a joint report is prepared outlining areas of need from both professionals along with recommendations.
