Developmental Movement Assessment

Assesses all aspects of the individual's neuro developmental status to understand how it affects their ability to learn and cope with everyday life.

At the Developmental Therapy Centre, we believe our first task is to address the underlying immaturities and develop a good neurological foundation.

Developmental Movement Assessment includes:

1) Neuro-developmental Maturity:

• Primitive Reflexes
• Postural Reflexes
• Retained Midline Barriers
• Cerebellum function

2) Foundation Faculties of Learning:

• Spatial Orientation
• Body Geography
• Balance and vestibular function
• Simple Dominance and Laterality
• Fine and Gross Motor Skills
• Visual Perceptual Skills
• Sensory Processing

3) Academics:

Standardised and diagnostic testing for:

Reading, Writing, Mathematics and Spelling.

Following this assessment, you will have a 1-hour parent consultation with the therapist to discuss the results. If on the day the therapist has observed any other difficulties that could be contributing to learning or behavioural struggles, they will make appropriate recommendations/referrals.

Assessment Outline:

3.5 hr Assessment
