How Does Online Therapy Work?
Like in-person therapy, online OT sessions are tailored to your child and family's individual needs and goals
For younger children, it's beneficial for parents to join alongside their child. The OT will offer direct help and guidance in the moment, providing activities and strategies. This ensures parents are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively support their child at home
Older children in primary and high school can independently engage with some caregiver support or just monitoring. Children who are working on handwriting skills can greatly benefit from these sessions
It is not expected that children sit in front of the computer the entire session. They will participate in a variety of interactive activities, and if your child requires a movement break, it will be incorporated into their session
