A first OT appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child doing everyday activities and may ask questions about school, play, and self-care. This helps the therapist understand your child's strengths and areas where support might help. Bring any relevant medical or school reports.

If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use allocated funding for OT services. Search the NDIS provider finder for registered occupational therapists in Belrose. Contact providers directly to confirm they accept NDIS participants and discuss your plan details. You'll need your NDIA approval letter.

Paediatric OTs generally support children with fine motor skills, self-care routines, play development, and school readiness. They may work on handwriting, coordination, sensory processing, and independence with tasks like dressing or eating. Some offer home or school visits. Services vary between practitioners, so ask about their specific focus areas when enquiring.

If you're concerned about your child's development or functioning, speak with your GP or early childhood educator first. They can discuss whether an OT assessment might be helpful for your child.
