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 types of occupational therapy services does Peninsula Kids OT offer?
Peninsula Kids OT lists occupational therapy services including feeding, sleep, toileting, self-care, fine motor development, gross motor development, and play. Parents interested in any of these areas can contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's needs and what support might be suitable. It's worth asking about assessment processes and how the clinic tailors sessions to individual children.
How do I know if my child might benefit from occupational therapy?
Children may benefit from occupational therapy if parents notice difficulties with everyday activities like eating, dressing, toileting, writing, or playing. If you're concerned about your child's development or daily functioning, speaking with your GP is a good first step. A GP can provide guidance and referrals to occupational therapy services in your area.
What should I ask when contacting an occupational therapy clinic?
When contacting a clinic, consider asking about their assessment process, session length and frequency, costs, any waiting times, and whether they accept referrals from your GP. It's also helpful to ask how they involve parents in therapy and what to expect during initial appointments. These conversations help families find a service that suits their circumstances.
