Dynamic Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Children

DOTCA-Ch Battery provides a measure of cognitive assessment and learning potential for school-aged children with special needs.

Developed on the basis of the LOTCA™ Battery, DOTCA-CH is a battery of tests designed to assess cognitive performance of children ages 6-12 years. It consists of 21 sub-tests in 5 cognitive areas; Orientation, Spatial Perception, Praxis, Visuomotor Organization, and Thinking Operations. Measures of short-term memory and time of performance are included in the visuomotor organization area.

The goals of the assessment are to identify the strengths and deficits of the child in the different cognitive areas and measure learning potential, as well as to recognize the child’s thinking strategies utilizing dynamic procedures.
