Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral for an initial assessment?
No. You can book directly online without a GP letter or paediatrician referral. Most private OT practices in Ireland accept direct parent bookings.
Will the report be accepted by my child's school and NEPS?
Yes. Reports from CORU-registered occupational therapists are accepted by schools, NEPS assessors, and the State Examinations Commission. Engage OT reports are written to clinical standard and include all information needed for reasonable accommodation applications.
How is the report delivered?
The written report is delivered by email as a PDF within one week of the assessment appointment. A feedback call follows to walk through the findings.
Can the assessment be done online?
Some components can be completed via video (Doxy.me), but motor and handwriting assessments typically require in-person observation. We will advise on the best format for your child at the pre-assessment stage.
What happens after the assessment?
You receive a written report and a feedback call. Depending on findings, we may recommend ongoing intervention sessions, a school visit, a parent consultation, or referral to another professional. The pathway is agreed with you, not prescribed.
