In-Home Assessments
At Porchlight Practitioners, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—and that starts with understanding their unique strengths and challenges in the environment where they feel safest: home.
Our in-home assessments for children with special needs are designed to provide a more accurate, compassionate, and individualized understanding of your child’s developmental, behavioral, educational, and communication needs. By observing and evaluating your child in their natural environment, our licensed professionals (Occupational Therapist, Speech-Language Pathologist, Educational Specialists, and Behavior Analyst) gain a clearer picture of how they interact, learn, and grow in everyday settings.
Benefits of In-Home Assessments:
Comfort & Familiarity: Children feel more relaxed and expressive in their home, leading to more accurate observations and reduced testing anxiety.
Personalized Recommendations: Home-based assessments allow us to tailor strategies that fit your family’s routines and lifestyle.
Real-Life Insight: Evaluate how your child engages with siblings, caregivers, and familiar tasks—essential for creating effective intervention plans.
Family Involvement: Direct involvement of parents and caregivers empowers families and promotes continuity of care.
Convenience: No need to travel or adjust your schedule—our team comes to you, on your terms.
