Assessment with Seth
You are assessing Seth (aged 38 months) after he was referred in
to your community paediatric service by the GP as his parents were concerned
that his left leg is turning in and he is walking on his tiptoes more on one side and
tripping over more than other children at nursery.
Are there any other things you might want to check during the assessment?
Think also about what questions you might want to ask Seth's parent, and what
things it might be useful to have handy during the assessment
Assessment findings
● How did the assessment go overall?
● Did you manage to observe everything that you wanted to see?
● How could you pick up on anything that you weren't able to assess?
● Is there anything you would change about the assessment if you were to do it
again?
