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.
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 does Tashacare offer?
Tashacare in Victoria lists occupational therapy services addressing sensory needs, autism support, mental health, assistive technology, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and emotional regulation. Parents interested in any of these areas can contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's specific needs and whether services align with their situation. Speaking with a GP beforehand can help clarify what support might be beneficial.
How do I know if my child might benefit from occupational therapy at Tashacare?
Children may benefit from occupational therapy for various reasons, including difficulties with fine or gross motor skills, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation challenges, or autism-related support needs. Rather than self-diagnosing, parents should speak with their GP, who can assess whether occupational therapy might help and provide referral information. Tashacare can then discuss suitability during initial contact.
What should I ask Tashacare when I first contact them?
Parents might ask about appointment availability, fees, whether bulk billing or rebates apply, therapist qualifications, session length and frequency, and how the clinic approaches their child's particular concerns. It's also worth asking about the assessment process and what to expect in early sessions. Having your child's details and any existing reports handy can help the conversation.
