A toddler receiving birth-to-three services is being referred for continued therapy at your school, once he turns 3 years old. Your OT department has asked you to gather the background information for this student. What should you do?
  1. Obtain contact information from your school, and call the child’s parents about his ability to function at home.
  2. Copy the birth-to-three records once your school district has received them.
  3. Schedule a time to visit the child at his home and observe how he functions during activities of daily living.
  4. A and B.
Explanation
Answer: D. Copies of the records from birth to 3 years old will give the OT department the information needed to plan and complete an evaluation. Additional information may be needed from the child’s parents if the records are incomplete. It would not be appropriate for OT to schedule a time to visit the child at home. The OT department would wait to schedule this visit as a part of the initial evaluation.
