What does a treatment session look like ?
Treatment sessions are generally conducted 1-on-1 at the clinic, at home or in the community depending on family preference. Caregivers are strongly encouraged to attend and observe/participate in the session so that they are able to transfer learned strategies from the session to other settings such as at home and in the community
Sessions are booked for 1 hour in total. Each OT session is approximately 45 minutes of direct intervention, with 15 minutes for caregiver education and documentation. The session also includes program planning and set up beforehand as well as after session clean-up.
​
Treatment sessions can also be offered through Telehealth, which may be helpful during these unprecedented times, particularly for immune-compromised clients
​
Telehealth and phone meetings can be scheduled for caregivers who are looking for additional resources and home strategies to try with their child in between OT sessions
