What to expect at a first session
Sensory processing
What to expect at your child's first sensory processing occupational therapy session
Your child's first appointment will usually last 45 minutes to an hour. The occupational therapist will spend time getting to know your child and understanding their sensory experiences in everyday life.
The therapist typically observes how your child responds to different sensory inputs—like sounds, textures, movement, and touch. They may use informal activities or structured assessments to understand your child's sensory preferences and challenges.
Bring along any relevant information, such as your child's medical history, previous assessments, and notes about sensory concerns you've noticed at home or school.
After the session, the therapist will discuss their observations with you and explain what they've noticed. They'll outline next steps, which might include further sessions, strategies to try at home, or recommendations to discuss with your GP or other health professionals.
It's a good opportunity to ask questions and share what matters most to your family.
Fine motor
A first session usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The 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 your child doing everyday activities like drawing, writing, using cutlery, or playing with toys. This helps them understand how your child's hands and fingers are working.
Bring any paperwork from your GP or previous assessments, and let the therapist know about activities your child finds tricky at home or school.
After the session, the therapist will discuss what they've noticed and talk through next steps. This might include a plan for ongoing sessions, activities to practise at home, or recommendations to discuss with your GP.
Every child is different, so sessions are tailored to what your child needs. It's okay to ask questions at any time.
Common questions
What areas does Empowered Kids focus on in occupational therapy?
Empowered Kids in NSW lists occupational therapy services addressing fine motor skills, gross motor skills, cognitive skills, self regulation, self care, social skills, and sensory processing. Parents interested in understanding whether their child's specific needs align with these areas are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's situation and what support might be available.
How do I know if occupational therapy might help my child?
If parents notice their child struggling with everyday tasks like dressing, writing, coordination, or managing emotions, occupational therapy may be worth exploring. However, it's important to speak with a GP first, who can assess whether occupational therapy is appropriate and provide a referral if needed. A GP can help clarify what support your child might benefit from.
What should I ask when contacting Empowered Kids about their services?
Parents might ask about the therapist's experience, how sessions are structured, whether they accept Medicare rebates or private health insurance, wait times, and how progress is monitored. It's also helpful to ask how the clinic communicates with families and whether they provide strategies parents can use at home to support their child's development.
