Evaluation

At BTC a comprehensive, holistic play-based assessment is conducted within a family-centred approach before we initiate a treatment plan. This first assessment aims to determine:

• The baby’s positive attributes and resilience factors.
• The development status that the child has already achieved.
• Possible barriers to normal development.
• What the family needs.
• A baseline from which we will commence intervention.

The team conducting the first evaluation consists of a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and Speech-Language and Feeding Therapist. The team recommends possible treatment and management options for the family and determines goals for intervention in conjunction with the parents/caregivers.
