What To Expect From Therapy Services
Initial Consultation
1 hour + parental consultation +
written summary +suggested OT goals
Before beginning individualized Occupational Therapy sessions, we start with a required Initial Consultation and Screening to ensure we fully understand your child’s needs and how we can best support them.
​
This process includes:
-
A 1 to 1.5 hour one-on-one session with your child, during which the therapist will conduct clinical observations
-
A thorough discussion of your concerns, goals, and how OT can benefit your child
-
Review of completed parent questionnaires, which help us identify your child’s strengths, challenges, and specific areas of concern.
​
These insights allow us to develop a personalized therapy plan that targets your child’s developmental needs right from the start.
​
🔹 Important: We kindly ask that all parent questionnaires are completed and returned before your child’s initial appointment to ensure a smooth and informed start to the process.
Formal Evaluation
1-1.5 hours test administration +scoring + written report + 1 hour parental consultation
Our Formal OT Evaluation provides a comprehensive understanding of your child’s developmental needs. This session lasts approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and includes:
-
One-on-one clinical observations
-
Administration of standardized assessments
-
Review of completed parent questionnaires
​
Together, these tools help us identify your child’s strengths, challenges, and areas for support across motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional development.
​
🔹 Please ensure all parent questionnaires are completed and returned before your child’s evaluation appointment so we can make the most of our time together.
​
Following the evaluation, we invite you to a 45-minute to 1-hour Parent Consultation, where we:
-
Review the findings from the evaluation in detail
-
Discuss both the assessment results and your completed questionnaires
-
Collaboratively set therapy goals tailored to your child’s needs at home, school, and in the community
-
Answer your questions and provide support around your child’s occupational therapy journey
​
This is a valuable time for you to gain deeper insight into your child’s development and understand how OT can help them manage daily challenges with greater confidence and ease.
Individualized Sessions
1 hour
At ChildSync, each Occupational Therapy session is approximately 45–50 minutes long. This includes:
-
Dedicated one-on-one time with your child
-
10 minutes of personalized feedback provided to you immediately after the session.
​
Behind the scenes, your therapist also spends additional time planning each session, documenting progress, managing required administration, and—when needed—corresponding with other health professionals, teachers, or care providers to ensure a coordinated approach.
​
On average, we recommend a course of 12–18 therapy sessions, supported by a regular home program of developmental activities. Therapy typically runs over a period of 3 to 6 months, though in some cases, it may extend up to a year.
Occupational therapy is a fluid and adaptive process. At ChildSync, we continuously monitor your child’s progress and may adjust our approach to best support their development and help them reach their full potential.
​
We encourage you to attend sessions with your child whenever possible. This gives you a hands-on learning experience and equips you with practical strategies to use at home. However, depending on your child’s specific needs or therapeutic goals, your therapist may occasionally ask that you remain in the waiting room to support your child’s engagement or independence during the session.
​
If it’s helpful to your child’s progress, we can arrange to:
-
Connect with your child’s teacher
-
Make a school visit
-
Collaborate with other health professionals
​
Please note that additional costs may apply for these services, depending on what is involved. We’re happy to discuss this with you in more detail.
​
Parental Consultation
45 minutes to 1 hour
At ChildSync, we understand that parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child’s development. At your request, we are happy to arrange a Parent Consultation designed to equip you with practical, actionable strategies to support your child’s growth and daily functioning.
​
During this consultation, we will:
-
Provide tailored recommendations based on your child’s unique needs
-
Discuss advocacy strategies to help you navigate challenges at school, in the community, or within the home
-
Collaborate with you to identify the most effective ways to support your child in managing daily demands.
​
This is a supportive space for you to ask questions, share observations, and work alongside your therapist to create a path forward that empowers both you and your child.
