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.
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.
ADHD
What to expect at your child's first ADHD occupational therapy session
The first session is usually about getting to know your child and understanding their needs. The occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's daily routines, school, home life, and any challenges they're facing.
The therapist will observe how your child moves, plays, and interacts. They might ask your child to do simple activities to see how they manage tasks like writing, organising, or focusing.
First sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes. Bring any reports from school or previous health professionals, and a list of things you've noticed at home that concern you.
After the session, the therapist will discuss what they've observed and talk about next steps. This might include more sessions, strategies to try at home, or recommendations to discuss with your GP or other professionals.
Everyone's first session is a bit different, so it's fine to ask the therapist what they'll be doing and what you can expect.
