The occupational therapy report is often the document that makes the difference in an MDPH application: it objectively documents the needs and justifies the funding. However, it must meet expectations and be accompanied by the right documents.
This page details the role of the report, the documents required for the file, and the deadlines, with a guide to download.
The report, a key document, under certain conditions
Documents for the file (PCH / AEEH)
A complete file generally includes:
- The MDPH application form (with the PCH section, or AEEH for children).
- A recent medical certificate: often less than one year old.
- Proof of identity.
- The occupational therapy report documenting the needs objectively.
- Detailed quotes for the planned works or equipment.
- A financing plan integrating other resources and aid.
PCH, AEEH: what are we talking about
- PCH: disability compensation benefit: can fund personal assistance, assistive devices, and housing or vehicle adaptation.
- AEEH: education allowance for disabled children, for families of children with disabilities.
The occupational therapy report feeds into the assessment of compensation needs; it does not decide on the allocation, which is the responsibility of the CDAPH.

Save time on writing
Reviewing observations, linking each difficulty to a quantified recommendation, and formatting takes time. Start with a fixed template compatible with MDPH, standardise your recommendations, and dictate your observations right after the assessment.
This is what Delta does: you capture your observations via live note-taking or post-session dictation, and the tool generates a structured report based on your template, with longitudinal patient memory from one assessment to the next. HDS hosting, GDPR compliant.
