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.

How do I know if occupational therapy is right for my child?
If parents are unsure whether occupational therapy suits their child's needs, speaking with their GP is a helpful first step.

An occupational therapist can then assess whether therapy would be beneficial for the child's specific situation.
