A sensory profile assessment reviews how an individual takes in and responds to sensory input like sounds, touch or movement which can be overwhelming. This assessment can then lead to insights into specific sensory challenges and identify strategies to assist focus, comfort and sensory regulation of the body.

We assist with the development of fine motor skills for everyday activities. Being able to coordinate small hand and finger movements is important for writing, cutting, typing, using cutlery or tying shoelaces. Assessment identifies key areas of difficulty and treatments targets which may be related to visual-motor integration, dexterity of movement or hand strength.

Assessment of gross motor skills includes evaluating strength, balance and coordination of movement. Treatment focuses on being able to coordinate larger movements of the body important for everyday life - how we move, walk, run, climb, play sport, or ride a bike.

Communiskills offers student handwriting assessments that identify the underlying motor, sensory, and perceptual factors affecting written output. Occupational Therapists evaluate pencil grip, posture, fine‑motor coordination, visual‑motor integration, and writing endurance to understand the students handwriting profile. Findings are translated into practical, classroom‑ready strategies that build confidence, efficiency, and legibility through neuroaffirming, strengths‑based support. A report for the purpose of an application for special consideration during school exams can be prepared by the Occupational Therapist.
