How do I know if my child should get an OT evaluation?

If your child avoids writing, can’t sit still, loses track of things, or melts down in loud rooms, it might be time. At Lab, OT evaluations use standardized tests to check motor skills, sensory processing, and executive functioning. Therapists also look at everyday tasks like keyboarding, planning, and staying focused. The result is a detailed profile that highlights your child’s strengths and challenges. You’ll get a full report and a one-on-one meeting to walk through the next steps. Lab’s team is great at spotting things you might not have words for yet—but know are there. The goal isn’t to label your child—it’s to help them thrive in a way that actually works.
