| Here's an occupational therapy assessment tool that lives up to its name. The EASY-OT is a comprehensive collection of summary forms, informal checklists, and resource materials for guiding OT evaluations, documenting results, and planning interventions. There are no norms associated with the EASY-OT, but it does provide space on which to record results from the 14 most commonly used standardized tests. Because it's provided on an unlimited-use CD, you can use EASY-OT again and again, printing out forms and generating reports as needed.
Four Developmentally Appropriate Forms
The EASY-OT includes four different Assessment Forms: Pre-Kindergarten-2nd Grade; Grades 3-8; Grades 9-12; and Low Functioning (for students with developmental or physical disabilities). Each form assesses developmentally appropriate, school-related skills in five areas: Fine-Motor, Gross-Motor, Visual-Perceptual, Visual-Motor, and Self-Help.
All Assessment Forms (except Low Functioning) contain a chart on which to record your observations about the student's work space, environment, and performance.
Assessment Aids and Options
Along with the Assessment Forms, 18 templates are provided to assist you in evaluating students' pre-printing, writing, coloring, cutting, and visual-perceptual skills.
In addition, several supplementary forms offer useful assessment options:
- Screening Form--a timesaving checklist that helps you determine the need for a complete EASY-OT assessment.
- Annual Report Form--a systematic way to document student progress, report on continued eligibility for services, and organize considerations for the next IEP.
- Sensory Processing Skills Addendum--a checklist completed by a parent or therapist, indicating how the student's sensory processing skills may be affecting school performance.
- Life Skills Addendum--a vocational observation form and life skills checklist that offers a more complete picture of student functioning.
Unlimited-Use CD
The EASY-OT CD (included in the Kit) allows you to print all forms, addenda, and templates for use in paper-and-pencil administration. Or, if you prefer, you can choose convenient computer administration. Either way, the EASY-OT lasts a lifetime.
Quickly evaluate students, write in-depth reports, and take charge of your occupational therapy caseload with the EASY-OT. Available only for PC; not Mac-compatible. |
