Intake form

Completing our intake form is the best way to get started—it helps us understand your child's needs and how we can support them. Submitting the form is obligation-free and does not commit you to therapy. It’s simply a way to start the conversation and explore the best options for your child.

Once we receive your form, our team will reach out to discuss the next steps and answer any questions you may have. Let’s work together to support your child’s growth and development!

I have submitted an intake form through the website, what happens next?

You will receive a call from us where we’ll ask a few questions to ensure we can support you in the areas you need. We’ll also provide general information about our services. Following this, we will send you a consent form and gather all necessary details to get the below process started.

Step 1: Parent/guardian planning meeting.

These sessions are typically conducted online or by phone, with clinic visits available if preferred. Children do not attend, allowing parents/carers to openly discuss their child's needs, concerns, and priorities. Your therapist will gather key information, including medical history, family dynamics, current therapies, and the child's abilities in areas like social skills, motor skills, sensory processing, emotional development, self-care, and learning. Together, we identify goals for the Therapy Plan, ensuring everyone is aligned.

Sessions usually last 60–90 minutes.

Step 2: Initial meet and greet with the child.

At All Things Therapy, we prioritise creating a safe, welcoming space where your child feels comfortable engaging in therapy. Our first goal is to build trust and rapport, laying the foundation for a successful therapeutic relationship. This initial session, attended with a parent or trusted caregiver, involves play, conversation, and exploration of the purpose of therapy. During this time, the therapist will observe your child’s strengths, preferences, and challenges to help shape their Therapy Plan.

Session length varies based on the child’s needs, typically lasting 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 3: A therapy plan will be formulated.

After the initial steps (and sometimes a few additional sessions), the OT will create a Therapy Plan outlining key goals, strategies to achieve them, and important details for structuring sessions.

This comprehensive report typically takes 90 to 120 minutes to complete.

Step 4: Sessions will commence.

Ongoing sessions will be scheduled based on an agreed frequency, with most clients opting for weekly or fortnightly sessions.

Remember, every child is unique
