What to expect at a first session
Autism
What to expect at your child's first autism occupational therapy session
Your child's first session will usually take 60–90 minutes. The occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's daily routines, strengths, and areas where they find things tricky—like getting dressed, eating, or playing.
The therapist will observe how your child moves, interacts with toys and objects, and responds to different activities. They're looking at things like coordination, sensory preferences, and how your child manages everyday tasks.
Bring any relevant documents, such as school reports or previous assessments, along with details about your child's medical history.
After the session, the therapist will discuss what they've noticed and may suggest strategies or activities to try at home. They'll talk about next steps, which might include ongoing sessions or a tailored plan for your family.
Remember, this first visit is about getting to know your child in a relaxed way. It's okay to ask questions at any point.
Early intervention
The first session is usually about getting to know your child and understanding what brings you in. The occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you've noticed.
During the session, the therapist will observe how your child plays, moves, and interacts. They might watch them pick up toys, move around the room, or engage in everyday activities. This helps them understand your child's strengths and areas where they might benefit from support.
First sessions typically run 45 minutes to an hour. Bring any relevant paperwork, such as referral letters from your GP or health visitor, and notes about your child's medical history.
After the session, the therapist will discuss what they've observed and talk through next steps. This might include recommendations for activities at home or a plan for ongoing sessions. They'll explain everything in a way that makes sense for your family's situation.
