Introduction

This document provides an extensive framework for evaluating the developmental progress of pediatric patients undergoing occupational therapy. This form is designed to facilitate objective and quantitative assessments across various domains.

Overview of the Evaluation

We will evaluate the progress of each patient concerning specific developmental disorders or delays, using predefined criteria to ensure consistency in the evaluation process across varying cases and scenarios.

Rating Scale

Utilize a numerical scale or descriptive scale to assign ratings for each criterion. Numerical scales typically range from 1 to 5, with 1 representing the lowest level of performance or need and 5 representing the highest.

  1. Poor: Indicates significant challenges or deficits requiring immediate intervention.

  2. Fair: Signifies moderate difficulties that impact daily functioning and necessitate targeted intervention.

  3. Average: Represents some challenges but with functional abilities within an expected range.

  4. Good: Demonstrates strengths and proficiency in the area being assessed.

  5. Excellent: Reflects exceptional skills or abilities exceeding expectations for the child's age or developmental level.
