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.
Developmental delay
What to expect at your child's first developmental delay occupational therapy session
Your child's first session will help the therapist understand their current abilities and any areas where they might need support.
The therapist will usually spend time observing your child playing and completing everyday tasks like eating, dressing, or writing. They'll ask you questions about your child's development, routines at home, and any concerns you've noticed.
A first session typically lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Your child may feel a bit uncertain at first, which is completely normal.
Bring any relevant medical reports, your child's health records, and information about their daily routines. It helps to note any specific situations where your child struggles.
After the session, the therapist will discuss their observations with you and talk about next steps. This might include ongoing therapy, home activities, or recommendations to discuss with your GP or other professionals.
