What is School Visit (PPKI & Inclusive Class)?
A school visit is intended to evaluate and treat your child’s performance at school. It includes several aspects and usually gets completed at the parent’s or school’s request. Following are the things the occupational therapist would examine:
- Seating position
- Handwriting
- In-room distractions
- Visual disturbances
- Play area security
- Posture evaluation
It is common for teachers or parents to discover some difficulties before the occupational therapist starts their school visit. Here are a few instances:
- Poor handwriting
- Easily distraction
- struggles with focus
- Bad sitting posture
- Difficulties to remember alphabets and numbers
- Struggles to read the board from a distance
An occupational therapist’s prior aim while visiting your child’s school is to ascertain how a condition or any difficulties are affecting your child’s ability to perform academically in terms of writing, drawing, listening, focusing, playing, manipulating small objects and other tasks related to school.
How your child learns at school and how any conditions that may be affecting learning may be affected by signs of a poor learning environment. Occupational Therapists will observe them while they are in class and make any suggestion to improve your child’s experience at school.
