Assessment + Evaluation

Hi there.

Wondering is there a space that OTs can share or sell Assessments? Currently looking for the Sensory Integration Inventory revised. My orahnsisation will not pay for shipping or cost and it will cost me a small fortune!

Thanks

Can anyone suggest a simple assessment (free to access) for dystonia ie some kind of self- rating scale?

Hi, I am an OT working in a Community Hospital. I am currently working alongside the nursing staff in creating a new night time intervention chart that gives a clear picture of Patients night time needs, gathers all relevant info, but is also quick and easy to fill out! Not wanting to re-event the wheel I imagine there are plenty already out there and was hoping that people may be able to send me some examples of what they use. Thank you so much in advance.

Finger tracing is a great strategy for early writers, for teaching pre-writing lines and shapes in preschool and toddler years, and for encouraging carryover of diagonal lines, jumping lines, and curves needed for form letters. Try a few of these finger tracing techniques to incorporate the tactile system into letter formation

1:Tracerace letters in a sensory bin using dry rice, sand, or shaving cream

2:Finger trace letters on sandpaper

3:Finger trace letters using a sensory bag (details to make this tool below) 3:Start with air writing letters

4:Draw a letter on the palm of the child’s hand. The student then needs to finger draw the same letter on the palm of their hand. 5:Finger trace letters on one another’s back 6:Draw letters with glue on paper. Students can finger trace the dry glue letters.
