Goals, Skills and Keywords Expectations Once a referral to Community Based (CBRS) Occupational Therapy Services has been completed, your child will be placed on an Assessment Waitlist. Our team will contact you to book your appointment when your turn comes. Your initial phone call conversation often includes questions that help to provide your occupational therapist with important information, to help gain understanding of your child’s strengths and interests as well as areas of need. Your first appointment may be a face-to-face assessment or a parent/caregiver interview. A follow-up appointment may be provided for observation in a natural setting, such as your child's home, school or daycare. The type of assessment will depend on your unique concerns, the reason for the referral, and by where your child fits best within our care pathways. Your occupational therapist will review findings with you, develop goals with you and will help to determine the best plan of intervention and assistance. Your service plan may include parent education sessions, group programming and/or “individual sessions” that are more focused to target your child’s specific goals. You Belong Here.
