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.
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.
Common questions
What conditions does Merrylands Rehab Centre treat with occupational therapy?
Merrylands Rehab Centre lists occupational therapy services for children with autism, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, post-surgery rehabilitation needs, behavioural and mental health concerns, and pain management. Parents should speak with their GP about whether occupational therapy might help their child's specific situation, and contact the clinic directly to discuss which services suit their family's needs.
How do I know if my child needs paediatric occupational therapy?
If a parent notices their child struggling with daily activities like dressing, eating, writing, or playing, occupational therapy may help. However, only a GP or paediatrician can properly assess whether therapy is needed. Parents concerned about their child's development or behaviour should speak with their GP first, who can provide guidance and referrals.
What should I ask Merrylands Rehab Centre about fees and funding?
Parents should contact Merrylands Rehab Centre directly to ask about session costs, payment options, and whether services are covered by Medicare, private insurance, or the NDIS. Funding eligibility varies by individual circumstances. A GP can also advise on potential funding pathways and whether a referral is needed to access services.
