How Therapy Works
What Therapy you child will receive
Post assessment, a determination regarding therapy will be made and what therapy in specific should look like. Not all children would qualify for Sensory Integration (SI). It is important to understand that SI is a technique used within and OT session in qualifying cases. Many children may require Occupational Therapy (OT), but may not be candidates for SI, and that is perfectly fine.
How Therapy Works
Where do sessions take place?
All sessions take place in our specialized Sensory Integration clinics, lasting approximately one hour. These sessions are led by our skilled Paediatric Occupational and Sensory Therapists. With consistent therapy, noticeable progress is often achieved
How Therapy Works
How many sessions do we need?
The Sensory Integration model recommends an initial therapeutic regimen of 30 continuous sessions to ensure optimal consolidation of changes in the brain stem. Depending on each child’s response, they may proceed to an additional block of therapy for further development. Your child may benefit from additional sessions after completing their initial treatment plan. We’re always here to address any concerns and will guide you toward the best course of action. If you’d like to connect with another parent to learn about their experiences at Kids In Sync, we’d be happy to arrange that for you.

OT Sessions
What an OT session look likes
Regulation & Wind-Down
Towards the end, the therapist helps the child transition to a calmer state through soothing activities or quiet time, ensuring they’re ready to return to the classroom or home environment regulated and grounded.
Feedback & Home Strategies
The therapist shares observations and progress with the parent, carer, or teacher (depending on the setting) and may suggest ideas to try at home or school to reinforce learning.
Warm-Up & Connection
The therapist begins by welcoming the child and easing into the session with a calming or energising activity, depending on the child’s mood and needs that day. This could be something simple like bouncing on a therapy ball, doing animal walks, or chatting while drawing.
