Occupational
Therapy
Lorem ipsum
At Sensation Station, our Speech and Language Therapy services are designed to support children in developing essential communication skills.
Parents are often surprised to find out that their child may need Occupational Therapy (OT). This will be in order to achieve developmental goals such as crawling, walking, running, hopping, jumping, and riding a bicycle (Gross Motor Skills – the movement of large muscle groups).
Occupational Therapy can also help improve attention, concentration, ability to follow instructions, as well as organising self within a learning or academic environment.
Parents often have a misconception thinking that Paediatric Occupational Therapy only assists with handwriting, however apart from the above, Occupational Therapy also focuses on other Fine Motor Skills.

Parent
Consultation
Before starting therapy sessions, the therapist will conduct a Parent Consultation (PC), an essential step in the intervention process.
This session typically lasts about 30-40 minutes and serves several important purposes:
- Identify and understand the parents’ concerns and reasons for seeking therapy
- Gather and discuss key information related to the child’s medical and developmental history or diagnoses
- Review any previous interventions or therapy the child has received.
The information gathered during the Parent Consultation is crucial for guiding the therapist’s intervention and setting appropriate goals.
The therapist will provide verbal feedback on their initial thoughts and recommendations for the next steps.
