ASSESSMENTS

1-1.5hr session

In this initial assessment session we will discuss your concerns and how occupational therapy will benefit your child.  The OT assessment includes a 1 -1.5 hour long, one on one session where clinical observations and standardised tests are conducted. These observations and the completed parent questionnaire will help us determine your child's strengths and weaknesses and areas of concern. One of our Senior Occupational Therapists will perform all of the Assessments at In Sync Kids OT. We have a team of exceptionally qualified and talented Occupational Therapist’s who treat children from Monday to Saturday. We will allocate the child to the most appropriate therapist in order to maximise therapist/child relationship and optimise treatment outcomes.  Please see the OUR TEAM page on our website for each therapist’s profile. We require the filled out assessment parent questionnaire to be returned to us prior to your initial assessment appointment. Please email your completed questionnaire to reception@insynckidsot.com as soon as possible.

PARENT CONSULTATION

45min consultation

The parent consultation is an hour long session, where the assessing therapist will go through in extensive details the findings from the initial assessment completed with your child. Together, we look at both the assessment and the completed parent questionnaire.  This consultation provides the opportunity for the family and therapist to discuss and set out OT goals to best help your child cope with the daily demand placed on them at day care, Kindy, school and at home.  We will do our best to set your mind at ease, and answer any questions that you may have about your child’s occupational therapy needs.

INSYNC KIDS OT SESSIONS

45-50min session

One of our senior Occupational Therapists will perform all of the Assessments at In Sync Kids OT. We have a team of exceptionally qualified and talented Occupational Therapist’s who treat children from Monday to Saturday. We will then allocate the child to the most appropriate therapist in order to maximise therapist/child relationship and optimise treatment outcomes.  Please see the OUR TEAM page on our website for each therapist’s profile. Each OT session lasts approximately 45-50 minutes comprising of 1:1 time with your child and giving feedback to family. This does not take into consideration the time it takes for the OT to plan for the session and write notes following the session, administration time to comply with legislation for those accessing Government Funds as well as any other correspondence to other health professionals or teachers. On average we recommend an average of 12-18 treatment sessions combined with regular home program activities. Generally, therapy can run from 3-6 months and sometimes up to a year. Occupational Therapy is a fluid process, and at In Sync Kids OT we constantly re-asses your child’s progress and may change our approach along the journey to help your child reach their full potential. You are encouraged to attend therapy sessions  with your child, in doing so, you gain a ‘hands-on’ learning experience and the opportunity to gather valuable information about how to continue with strategies at home, however, depending on each unique circumstance there may be times where the treating therapist requests that you remain in the waiting room.  If your child’s therapist believes correspondence is required with your child school teacher, or a school visit would be of benefit, this can be organised. Depending on what is required, there may be additional cost associated with this (please ensure to discuss with your child’s OT).
