At Ready Set GO Therapy we find that our comprehensive OT and Speech evaluation process lends itself to the provision of efficient, effective treatment. Our evaluation package includes a one-on-one evaluation session, parent, teacher, and other caregiver interview, a comprehensive report and home program.
It is through this process that we investigate foundational communication, gross motor, fine motor, and visual perceptual skills which may be affecting a child’s functional performance at home, school, or within the community. The evaluation session is one-on-one and includes a combination of standardized assessment and structured clinical observations.
Some of the OT evaluation tools commonly used include:
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 2nd Edition (BOT-2)
Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, 2nd Edition (PDMS-2)
Miller Assessment for Preschoolers (MAP)
Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT)
Developmental Test of Visual Perception, 3rd Edition (DTVP-3)
Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, 3rd Edition, (TVPS-3)
Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, 6th Edition (Beery VMI)

Treatment sessions at Ready Set GO Therapy are packed with “just right” challenges for a child. In a safe, enticing environment, with the skill and careful scaffolding of their therapist, children challenge themselves to reach the next level of development. Each session is carefully planned and built upon the last session to maximize outcomes and help children and families reach their goals. Our objective is to have children leaving their sessions feeling successful and wanting to come back for more, all the while, building the foundational skills they need to meet therapy goals, whether those be OT or speech goals.
Active consultation with families, schools, and other community providers proves invaluable to many clients as we work across a child’s many environments to ensure the best possible outcome.
We know that kids naturally learn from each other. Our group sessions are dedicated to having fun and improving confidence in interacting with peers, while also benefiting from their example. With therapists carefully monitoring the group dynamics, each session is thoughtfully planned with the intention of ensuring each child feels successful and valued. As with all Ready Set GO Therapy services, play is at the heart of each group.
The early years of school provide an excellent opportunity for children to develop the communication, motor and perceptual skills that set the foundation for academic success. Small motor groups focusing on these foundations may easily be incorporated into a school’s curriculum from preschool through 2nd grade. Therapists are available to design sensory motor groups, speech and language groups, and provide ongoing consultation to schools.
Therapists are available to conduct in-services or presentations to teachers, parents, or other providers.
