SMART Pediatrics offer a variety of occupational therapy evaluations to meet the needs of your family and your child. Each evaluation differs in what we look at and the amount of time required.

An occupational therapy evaluation looks at whether (and to what degree) sensory or motor delays maybe impacting your child's personal, academic, and social abilities.

In order to find the best fit, sign up for a phone consultation.  This will help us to determine the appropriate evaluation based on the needs of your child.
