At the beginning of the appointment, I explain what we are going to do and make a picture or word plan about the activities. The activities chosen are based on the concerns noted by parents, teachers and children, and developmentally appropriate skills.

At the end of the assessment, we set some goals, and work out some appointment times. Follow up appointments usually last an hour and are usually scheduled approximately once per fortnight. I send an assessment report to parents within a week of the assessment appointment.
