Assessment

Sensory Assessment :

Our Sensory Assessment Program is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s sensory processing abilities. Sensory processing plays a crucial role in how we perceive and respond to the world around us, and for individuals with sensory challenges, it can significantly impact their daily life. 

In this program, our team of experienced professionals utilizes a variety of assessment tools and techniques to thoroughly examine how an individual processes sensory information, including inputs from sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. We assess how these sensory inputs are integrated and responded to, identifying any sensory processing difficulties or sensitivities.

The Sensory Assessment Program is beneficial for individuals of all ages, from children to adults, and can be particularly valuable for those with sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, or other conditions that affect sensory perception.

SIPT & EASI Assessment:

Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT):

Purpose: The SIPT is a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate how an individual processes and integrates sensory information from their environment. It helps identify sensory processing disorders and provides insights into a person’s ability to plan and execute purposeful motor actions (praxis). 

Components: The SIPT consists of various subtests that assess different aspects of sensory processing and praxis skills. These subtests examine areas such as tactile perception, visual perception, motor coordination, and more.

Administration: The SIPT is typically administered by a trained occupational therapist. It involves a series of standardized tasks and observations to evaluate how an individual responds to sensory stimuli and performs motor planning and execution tasks.

Evaluation of Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) Assessment:

Purpose: The EASI Assessment is a tool used to evaluate a person’s sensory processing abilities within the context of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) theory. ASI focuses on helping individuals effectively process and respond to sensory information to improve their participation in daily life activities. 

Components: The EASI Assessment consists of various observations and clinical assessments that are guided by ASI principles. It assesses sensory modulation, sensory discrimination, praxis, and postural control.

Administration: Like the SIPT, the EASI Assessment is typically conducted by occupational therapists who are trained in ASI. It involves structured observations, standardized assessments, and clinical reasoning to determine an individual’s sensory integration challenges.

Outcome: The EASI Assessment provides information about an individual’s sensory processing patterns and helps guide the development of personalized sensory integration interventions and strategies to address sensory-related difficulties.

ADOS-2 Assessment:

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a standardized assessment tool used to assist clinicians and researchers in diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and in evaluating the severity of ASD symptoms. It is considered one of the gold-standard assessments for autism diagnosis and is widely used in clinical and research settings.

Development Assessment:

Developmental assessment is a process used by healthcare professionals, educators, and developmental specialists to evaluate the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral development of children and individuals across the lifespan. The goal of developmental assessment is to gain insight into a person’s developmental progress, identify areas of strength and areas that may need support or intervention, and tailor appropriate interventions or educational plans accordingly.

Workplace Ergonomic Assessment:

Workplace ergonomics is the practice of designing and organizing work environments to fit the needs and capabilities of employees, with the aim of enhancing their well-being and job performance. It encompasses various aspects such as workspace design, ergonomic tools and equipment, lighting, noise control, training, and supportive policies. The goal is to reduce the risk of injuries, discomfort, and fatigue while improving productivity and job satisfaction. 

Effective workplace ergonomics involves designing ergonomic workstations, providing appropriate tools, optimizing workspace layouts, controlling lighting and noise, and educating employees about proper ergonomic practices. Regular feedback, assessments, and support for health and wellness are essential components. By implementing these practices, organizations can create safer, more comfortable work environments that promote employee well-being and productivity.
