Sessions are conducted one-to-one with a qualified Occupational Therapist. Weekday and limited weekend appointments are available.
Parents stay involved
For young or anxious children, a parent usually stays during the assessment. During therapy sessions, this depends on the child and session type. The therapist will advise and always explain what was done and how to continue at home.
