Frequently Asked Questions

No, absolutely not!  Just contact us below and we can chat further about the different funding options available.

This can be a tough question! It is always recommended that if you feel something is not right to book in an initial assessment to chat through any questions or concerns.

During our first initial session together, the parent and therapist will do a lot of talking. Generally, this can be a parent only session- but that's totally up to you! This first session allows us to gather background information, set goals together and begin initial problem solving before we jump into therapy in the following sessions. 

Yes, we do complete assessments if this is something that you're after! We provide standardised and/or non-standardised assessments (those that can be scored and those that are based on observations) of the child's development strengths and challenges. This can be discussed in our first initial session together. 

We are not a registered NDIS provider, however, services provided can be paid for by clients who are plan managed or self-manage their NDIS funding. Further information is available on the NDIS website at:

There is no set time frame for seeing an Occupational Therapist. We can advise once the initial session has been conducted but generally we see children up until they have achieved their goals!  Every child is unique and achieves their goals within different timeframes. Your child's progress will be regularly reviewed and frequent discussions with parents/ caregivers and teachers (if required) are conducted to track progress.

This will depend on each individual. Some children attend weekly and some attend fortnightly. Some therapy is less regular but this is all based on each child's needs. This will be discussed during your initial assessment to determine what is best for each individual client.

You can definitely organise a parent-only session! This can be in person, over the phone or via Telehealth. Together we can gain a deeper understanding of your child's challenges and begin problem solving together.

Any documentation (past or present!) helps us build a more complete picture of what ideas have been explored. As a team, we can develop goals and strategies that work to your child's strengths and interests!

Please get in touch by emailing hello@littlehumansot.com.au or using the inquiry box below! Always happy to discuss further any questions or concerns about the next steps. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
