School ready start
Beginning school is a significant milestone in a child’s life. As parents, we aim to make this transition positive, allowing our children to thrive and build confidence throughout their school years. There are several ways we can prepare our children for this exciting journey.
OT4me has designed a School ready start for children who will be starting school within the next 6 months. It’s a 1 hour screening assessment conducted by a Registered Children’s Occupational Therapist. The purpose of the School Ready start is to ensure that your child is developing all the necessary skills to prepare them for the classroom.
How Can We Help?
The key areas that our School Readiness start covers include:
- Pencil grasp
- Scissor skills
- Dexterity and manipulation skills
- Pre-writing and drawing skills
- Organisational skills
- Self-care skills
- Attention/ concentration
Following the assessment, you’ll receive a child-friendly summary of your child’s School Ready Start. This outline will highlight their strengths and identify potential areas for development, guiding you in preparing your child for school.
