Ensure a smooth and stress-free transition for your child.

Transition Reports in Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Whether your child is moving to a new school, progressing to the next stage of their education, or transitioning out of occupational therapy, our Paediatric OT Transition Reports provide the essential insights needed to support their ongoing success. With clear recommendations, progress tracking, and actionable strategies, these reports help parents, educators, and therapists work together to create the best possible learning environment for every child.

At Building Blocks Therapy, we understand the importance of smooth transitions for children as they move through different educational stages or therapy settings. Our Paediatric Occupational Therapy Transition Reports comprehensively summarise a child’s progress, strengths, challenges, and future recommendations to ensure continuity of care and effective support.

What is a Transition Report?

A transition report is a detailed document that helps facilitate a child’s progression from one educational or therapy setting to another. It ensures that parents, educators, therapists, and support staff have the necessary insights to meet the child’s developmental and learning needs.

When Are Transition Reports Used?

  • Moving from kindergarten to primary school.
  • Transitioning to a new school or special education setting.
  • Progressing from one year level to the next.
  • Discharging from OT services while ensuring continued support.
  • Changing OT providers and needing a structured handover.

Our transition reports are customised to reflect each child’s unique journey and typically include:
