Choosing the right occupational therapist is an important decision for you and your child. It is a privilege for the therapist to be involved with your family and receive your personal information. Starting the journey of accessing early childhood intervention supports can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Its helpful to find a therapist who truly listens and puts you in the centre of decision making.

You want someone who understands typical early childhood development as well as understanding developmental delay, disability and atypical development.

 

A ‘one size fits all’ approach just doesn’t work to address the unique strengths and challenges that exist in your child. Milestones can come in leaps or have long pauses. Some steps can be missed along the way. Your child should be supported to start where they are and find the next step in their learning and development.

Finding a therapist that you connect with is very important. Please look over the next few pages and consider whether you think I’d be suitable for you and your child.
