The Appointments
First, we meet you without your child.
This initial appointment is a parent-only session, a chance to get to know your chosen occupational therapist and chat openly about the challenges your child is facing.
We will ask you questions about developmental history, fine and gross motor skills, emotional regulation, play skills, sensory processing and learning. We can also provide age-
appropriate advice for talking to your child about what to expect when they meet us.
Next, we meet your child face-to-face.
This session is all about ensuring your child feels comfortable. We will spend a lot of time building trust, chatting about their life, interests, relationships and goals.
When the time is right, we will explore your child’s skill set and challenges using evidence-based therapy tailored to their age, interests and goals.
You are welcome to join us for some this appointment or grab a coffee at a local cafe.
