Understanding a motor and process skills assessment

Motor and process skills assessments give insight into how your child interacts with their surroundings and handles everyday tasks.

Every child has a unique set of abilities, and these assessments reveal important aspects of skills like coordination, organisation, and problem-solving.

Some children might find tasks like dressing or organising belongings challenging, while others excel in fine motor activities such as drawing or holding a pencil.

These skills shape how they approach routines, engage in play, and navigate different environments.

By assessing motor and process skills, we can identify areas of strength and those needing support.

This allows us to create a plan that meaningfully supports your child’s growth and independence.

NDIS funding for motor and process skill assessments

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an invaluable resource for families seeking support for motor and process skills assessments.

NDIS funding often covers these assessments, enabling access to personalised interventions that address your child’s developmental needs.

We know that understanding the NDIS process can feel challenging.

Our team is here to guide you through it, helping you maximise your funding to ensure your child receives the support they need.

Frequently asked questions

These assessments help identify areas where your child may need support, allowing for the creation of personalised strategies to enhance their independence and overall development.

Occupational therapists typically conduct these assessments.

They assess how children manage everyday tasks and identify any areas that need support.

The duration of the assessment varies depending on your child’s age and the specific tasks involved, but it generally takes between one to two hours.

These assessments for motor and process skills are suitable for children of all ages, but early assessment is particularly beneficial for identifying developmental delays and supporting early intervention.

Explain the assessment to your child in simple terms, letting them know they will be doing fun activities that help others understand how they complete everyday tasks.
