# Therapy & Clinical Services — How Therapy Progress Is Measured (OT, Speech & PT at Playabilities)

- [Playabilities](https://playabilities.org/) is an integrated pediatric clinic offering [occupational](https://playabilities.org/services/pediatric-occupational-therapy-in-kansas-city/), [speech](https://playabilities.org/services/speech-therapy-in-kansas-city/), [physical](https://playabilities.org/services/pediatric-physical-therapy-in-kansas-city/), and [feeding](https://playabilities.org/services/feeding-therapy-in-kansas-city/) therapy in the Kansas City area. — *[Chloe Strohm, Sep 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20260920_Chloe_Strohm_Emotional_Regulation/notes.md)*

- Standardized assessments (sensory, fine motor, executive functioning) set a **baseline**, and because a single standardized score doesn't always capture how a child with autism or ADHD functions in everyday settings, evaluations also lean on clinical observation and informal testing (attention, play skills, social skills, sensory preferences). — *[Chloe Strohm, Sep 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20260920_Chloe_Strohm_Emotional_Regulation/notes.md)*

- Goals are written in measurable **SMART** format and scored by **assistance level** each session (maximum → moderate → minimum → verbal cues → independent), so progress is recorded numerically and graphed over time; parents can follow along in a parent portal. The format parallels how goals are commonly tracked in other therapy disciplines, including ABA. — *[Chloe Strohm, Sep 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20260920_Chloe_Strohm_Emotional_Regulation/notes.md)*

- The plan of care is built around a recommended therapy **frequency**; if the schedule isn't working for your family, or you have concerns about progress, raise it with the therapist so the plan can be reassessed together. — *[Chloe Strohm, Sep 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20260920_Chloe_Strohm_Emotional_Regulation/notes.md)*
