Our 5 Step Process
To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of our therapy programs, we follow a 5 step process for all our pediatric clients. You can discuss your child's unique circumstances, preferences, and needs with your OT. This helps us to make our therapy programs transparent and personalized.
01
Initial Meeting
The parent only session is where you meet your OT and provide a background to your unique child, and you can freely discuss any concerns. During this session, your OT may ask you to complete a checklist so to get to know your child more and to identify potential growth areas. Future reporting and assessment needs can be discussed with your OT. This meeting is expected to be 60 minutes.
02
Child Meeting/Observation
During this meeting your OT will meet your child and may complete further assessment both formal and informal. Your OT will work towards making a connection with your child and start to formalize therapy goals. This meeting is expected to be 60 minutes.
03
Feedback & Goal Setting
This meeting is where your OT will provide a summary of findings by phone consultation. A therapy support plan is developed, outlining the goals you have discussed together and identify what strategies your OT recommends to achieve these goals. A service agreement (for NDIS participants) is formed and will outline the therapy plan, and the terms of that plan. The phone call will be approx. 15 minutes. The therapy support plan will be developed and invoiced for 15 minutes.
04
Implement Therapy Program
The therapy plan is put into action according to the terms of your service agreement. Sessions are scheduled on a weekly/fortnightly basis for the term. Your OT will provide written feedback via email following each session. Sessions will be 50 mins +10 mins notes and travel will be invoiced for community visits. Sessions will be invoiced for 60 minutes and travel. Please be aware of our 48-hour cancellation period.
05
Review & Evaluate Progress/Goals/ Therapy plan
Review meetings between the parent and your OT are scheduled each term or as agreed. This review is an opportunity for you to check in with your OT regarding your child’s progress and you can review the therapy plan. Review meetings can be in person, by phone or telehealth. Reviews are approx. 30 minutes.
