Occupational therapy (OT) helps people of all ages have more independent and fulfilling lives by improving their ability to carry out everyday activities, from getting dressed and writing, to processing sensory input and managing routines.
At ETC Consult, we’re proud to be Ireland’s trusted distributor of leading OT assessment tools. Our wide range of evidence-based assessments supports accurate diagnosis, tailored intervention, and meaningful progress tracking.
1. Trusted Tools
We work with top international publishers to bring you gold-standard assessments, including:
- Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT‑3): Measures gross and fine motor skills in children and adolescents aged ~4–25, identifying developmental delays and supporting precise intervention plans.
- Beery Visual‑Motor Integration (Beery VMI): Evaluates the critical link between visual perception and motor coordination in learners and adults, especially useful for planning educational or therapeutic support.
- Sensory Processing Measure (SPM): A school-based, multi-context rating tool for sensory processing, praxis, and social participation, suitable for children in educational settings.
2. Tools for Every Stage and Setting
Our assessments are used across the full spectrum of OT practice:
- In schools and clinics: Assessments like the BOT‑3, Beery VMI, and SPM help identify motor, visual-motor, and sensory challenges that may impact learning and behaviour. These tools support targeted intervention planning and ongoing developmental monitoring.
- In early intervention: The Griffiths III offers a clear picture of developmental milestones in infants and toddlers, helping practitioners identify delays early and design effective, age-appropriate interventions.
- In adult rehabilitation: Our tools assist in assessing cognitive, sensory, and functional abilities in adults, supporting recovery, goal-setting, and progress tracking across a range of rehab settings.

4. From Assessment to Impact
OT assessments are more than data points, they’re the foundation for effective intervention.
- Diagnosis: Understand specific motor, sensory, or cognitive challenges.
- Planning: Set clear goals and focus therapy where it matters most.
- Progress Tracking: Monitor change over time and adapt interventions as needed.
- Collaboration: Use standardised results to engage families, educators, and healthcare teams.
5. Real-Life Results
- A child struggling with handwriting was assessed using the BOT‑3. Targeted fine-motor interventions improved both legibility and confidence.
- Using the SPM, an OT identified a child’s sensory-seeking behaviour during recess. Adjustments to the environment led to better engagement and social interaction.
- Griffiths III helped guide early intervention for an infant behind developmental milestones, supporting gains in motor skills and communication.
