Therapeutic Interventions provided by OT4You

As OT4You is a private practice, referrals may either be made by the child’s parent or guardian, by their GP or medical specialist.
Once a referral is received an assessment time will be scheduled. OT4You will forward a pre-assessment pack to the parent/s or guardian. This pack includes:

• Parent Pre-Assessment Questionnaire
• OT4You Fees schedule
• Consent form
• Teacher questionnaire (if applicable)

Please contact our team on 0447 305 880 for more information

Each assessment takes approximately 1.5–2.5 hours to complete. This is generally conducted at the OT4You clinic, however, at times observational assessment at home and school are also recommended.

During the initial assessment both you and your child need to be present. It is recommended that you bring all relevant medical, health or school reports to this appointment. Our goal is to gain a comprehensive insight into your child’s strengths and difficulties. 

During the initial assessment your therapist will discuss your main concerns, your child’s interests and your goals for therapy. The therapist will observe your child participating in the tasks that they have difficulty completing. Standardised assessments will be administrated along with skilled observations of underlying issues your child may have, such as motor planning, muscle tone, over/under response to sensory input, self-regulation, bilateral integration, attention and processing, receptive and expressive language skills, interaction with others and arousal state etc. 

After the initial assessment is completed a consultation session with the parents may be scheduled to discuss the assessment findings and develop an appropriate intervention plan with your child’s specific therapy goals identified. If it is determined that further therapeutic intervention is required, at this point therapy sessions may be then scheduled weekly, fortnightly or monthly. This will be discussed with your therapist.

At OT4You we understand the value of early intervention, particularly in the first seven years of life. Our therapists have specialist knowledge and skills to provide quality early intervention for your child so that they have the best opportunity from the start.

Our therapists use play to engage the child and help them learn and develop the skills they need. Each session is completely personal and unique to your child’s needs. Parental engagement is important to help children achieve their potential. While your child engages in a session, our therapists also provide support and education to the family. We encourage siblings to attend sessions, as we see not only the child as our client, but the family as a unit. At OT4You, we believe family involvement in the therapy process results in sustained and meaningful changes to the child and the family as a whole.
