Assessment & Reporting

Assessments help us understand your child’s strengths, needs and everyday skills, so we can plan the most meaningful support together. Our goal is to make the process warm, child-led and easy for families to navigate.

Understanding Your Child’s Strengths, Needs and Everyday Skills

At Day by Day Early Intervention, assessments help us understand your child’s communication, play, motor, sensory and self-regulation skills. We use warm, child-led interactions and evidence-based tools to build a complete picture of how your child learns, communicates and engages in everyday routines.

Our goal is to help families feel informed, supported and confident – not overwhelmed.

What to Expect During the Assessment Process

Assessments are flexible and tailored to your child’s age, comfort and developmental stage. This may include a combination of:

    • play-based observations
    • parent interviews
    • standardised or informal assessments
    • interaction-based tasks
    • information from teachers, carers or other therapists

We take the time to connect with your child and follow their lead, making sessions relaxed and supportive.

Clear, Family-Friendly Reports You Can Use

Every assessment includes a detailed, easy-to-understand report that outlines:

    • your child’s strengths
    • areas where support may help
    • recommended goals for speech or occupational therapy
    • practical strategies for home, school and community
    • evidence-based recommendations

Reports are written in plain, supportive language so families feel empowered to use the strategies day to day.

Reports for NDIS, Schools and Other Services

Our reports are suitable for:

  • NDIS access & review

  • school or childcare planning

  • support coordinators & allied health teams

  • paediatricians and GP referrals

We focus on meaningful real-world outcomes not just scores.

Ongoing Support After the Report

We take time to review your report with you, answer questions, and plan next steps together. Whether your child continues with speech therapy, occupational therapy or both, we remain a partner throughout your early intervention journey.
