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.
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.
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.
Remember, this is a chance to learn more about how your child learns and moves through the world.

How do I know if my child might benefit from occupational therapy?
If parents notice their child has difficulty with everyday activities like dressing, eating, writing, or play, or if they seem unusually sensitive to sounds or textures, occupational therapy may help.

What should I ask when contacting a clinic about occupational therapy?
Parents might ask about the therapist's qualifications, how long appointments take, whether the clinic bulk bills or accepts Medicare rebates, waiting times, and what the initial assessment involves. It's also helpful to ask how the clinic communicates progress and whether they provide strategies parents can use at home to support their child's development.
