Occupational Therapy (OT) Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) in Philadelphia

At Amy McGinnis Behavioral Consulting, we offer comprehensive Occupational Therapy (OT) Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for children in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Our OT IEEs are designed to assess and address a child’s fine motor, sensory processing, visual-motor, and self-care skills, ensuring they have the necessary supports to succeed in school.

Types of Occupational Therapy IEEs We Offer

We provide a variety of Occupational Therapy IEEs that target different areas of a child’s development. Our evaluations are thorough and individualized to meet each child's specific needs. The following are the types of OT IEEs we offer:

• Fine Motor Skills Evaluation: This evaluation assesses a child's ability to use their hands for tasks such as writing, cutting, and manipulating objects. Fine motor skills are crucial for success in the classroom, especially for tasks like handwriting and using school tools.

• Sensory Processing Evaluation: We evaluate how a child processes and responds to sensory input from their environment, such as sounds, textures, and lights. Children with sensory processing challenges may struggle to focus or regulate their emotions in school. This assessment helps determine the sensory interventions needed to support their learning.

• Visual-Motor Integration Evaluation: This evaluation examines how well a child’s visual perception coordinates with their motor skills. Poor visual-motor integration can impact handwriting, reading, and other classroom activities. Our evaluation helps identify interventions to strengthen these critical skills.

• Self-Care and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Evaluation: We assess a child’s ability to perform essential self-care tasks, such as dressing, eating, and hygiene. This evaluation is particularly useful for children who require additional support in developing independence in their daily routines.

• Adaptive Equipment Evaluation: This evaluation determines whether a child requires adaptive equipment or assistive technology to access and succeed in their educational environment. We recommend specific tools and strategies that support their learning and participation.

• Handwriting Evaluation: This specific evaluation focuses on a child’s handwriting abilities, including letter formation, spacing, and overall legibility. Handwriting is a common area of concern for children with fine motor challenges, and our assessment provides recommendations for improvement.
