Therapy Assessment Plans
Assessment helps to identify strengths, challenges, interests and learning styles and then matches that profile to resources and tools that can maximize an individual’s learning potential within a given setting or activity.
It can also assist to extend skills, maximize opportunities, to engage with others within their community. It may be designed as a targeted approach for a specific skill or to look at a holistic approach to development.

Speech And Language Assessments
Our comprehensive assessment process evaluates a broad range of critical developmental areas including academics, communication (comprehension, verbal and non-verbal skills, speech sound development), functionality, social communication and intent.
By assessing these domains, we gain a better understanding of a child’s unique strengths and challenges and can develop a tailored intervention plan that addresses their specific needs.
Mealtime Assessments
For individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) difficulties with mealtimes commonly occur, however, the degree of deficit and impact on subsequent eating and drinking, positioning and independence can be experienced differently.
Leonard Autism & Rehabilitation Centre has experienced therapy staff with specialised training in the area of mealtime assessment and management of individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Mealtime trained staffs work collaboratively to assess skills and identify deficits commonly in the areas of:
- Oral motor development/ skills
- The phases of swallowing
- Sensory processing influences
- Food selectivity and volume
- Independence skills
- Posture and motor skills impacting on positioning
- Environmental impacts
Occupational Therapy Assessments
To identify strengths and challenges that individuals may experience in everyday life.
Areas assessed may include:
- Daily living/independence skills
- Gross and fine motor difficulties
- Perceptual difficulties
- Sensory difficulties
- Play and leisure skills
- Work related skills
- Social skills
- Behaviour and emotional regulation
- Attention/concentration
The goal of occupational therapy is to help your loved ones achieve greater independence and participate more fully in their daily activities.
Mobility Management Plans
Assess a child’s mobility and provide recommendations for equipment and devices to enhance their mobility. Children with autism may have difficulty with motor coordination and balance, making mobility and safety a concern.
A mobility management assessment can help identify the child’s unique needs and provide strategies to improve their safety and independence.
Behavioural And Educational Assessment Plan
Evaluate a child’s behavior, academic performance, and social skills. These assessments can help identify strengths and weaknesses and provide a foundation for developing individualized treatment plans.
For children with autism, behavioral and educational assessments are essential for identifying specific areas of need and developing strategies to promote success in school and social settings.
