Q: Does my child need an initial consultation if they have already done an assessment at a different therapy centre?

A: Yes. While previous assessments provide valuable insights, an initial consultation is essential for us to understand your child’s current needs, goals, and context. It also allows our therapists to observe your child directly and tailor a therapy plan that aligns with their unique strengths and challenges.

 

Q: What if I cannot be present for the session?

A: While parental presence is encouraged during sessions to support your child’s progress, we understand that it may not always be possible.

   •       For younger children, we recommend having another trusted caregiver, such as a grandparent or nanny, present during the session.

   •       For older children, therapists will provide detailed feedback after the session to keep you informed and involved in your child’s progress.

 

Q: Will my child receive homework or practice activities?

A: Yes, therapists may provide activities or strategies for parents to practice with their child at home to reinforce progress made during therapy sessions.

 

Q: Can therapy help with school-related challenges?

A: Yes, therapy can address a variety of school-related challenges such as attention, handwriting, social skills, and classroom participation.

 

Q: Do therapy packages have an expiration date?

A: No, therapy packages do not have an expiration date. However, packages should only be taken up upon the therapist’s recommendation, based on your child’s individual needs and goals.

 

Q: How long does each therapy session last?

A: Each session lasts 55 minutes, which includes both direct intervention with your child and time for discussion with parents or caregivers as needed.

 

Q: Can sessions be rescheduled if my child is unwell?

A: Yes, sessions can be rescheduled with advance notice. Please inform us as soon as possible to avoid late cancellation charges.

 

Q: Will therapy be conducted in English or other languages?

A: Sessions are typically conducted in English. If another language is preferred, please discuss this with us during the initial consultation.

 

Q: How many therapy sessions will my child need?

A: The number of sessions varies depending on your child’s needs and progress. This will be discussed during the initial consultation and reviewed regularly.
