How long will my child be seen for Occupational Therapy Treatment?

This will vary depending on the needs of the child and will be decided following initial assessment and consultation with your therapist. Typically, we will see a child for a series of ten sessions. Our goal is to provide our parents with knowledge and tools to support their children. If further intervention is required, it will be provided on a consultation model depending on the needs of the child.
