Individual therapy sessions are designed to help the child achieve the goals set in the initial appointment. During intervention, the occupational therapist will work with your child on a weekly or fortnightly basis for a half hour or 45 minute appointment. This appointment is generally conducted within the Gledswood Hills Clinic however may take place at the child’s preschool or school. Individual therapy is run in blocks of 10 sessions. Once a block is complete, the therapist will re-assess the child, provide the parents with on-going strategies and will move on to the next goal.
The Individual therapy plan is specific and customised to the child and hence focuses directly on the child’s strengths and weaknesses. The occupational therapy intervention plan adheres to evidence-based practice, uses a sensory integration approach and is always family-centred.
