Common FAQs

Deciding to take your child to therapy is a big decision. That decision also comes with its doubts and questions.

- What do you teach in therapy? The focus of therapy sessions is to create an environment where the child learns through play. The therapist models ways of communication and social interaction. The therapists also help understand the child’s sensory profile and fulfil their sensory needs

- Why does my child have such responses to sounds, lights and textures? The child may be a sensory seeker or avoider, if they respond differently to different stimuli. An occupational therapist can help you understand the child’s profile better.

- Will therapy stop my child’s repetitive behaviours, routines or fixations? If the child thrives on sameness, it might be a neurological difference. We cannot “fix” or “stop it. What we can do, is expand the child’s creativity and ideation to increase their flexibility. It is important to know that the routines may be helping the child feel regulated.

- How will my child learn and understand social cues? Therapists will model and explicitly teach children verbal and non-verbal communication. We will also respect the ways in child the child communicates, and work to understand their cues as well.

- Till when should we continue therapy? There is no fixed timeline. It entirely depends on the child. However, consistent therapy for at least a year shows significant progress

- Should I tell my child that they are going for therapy? It depends on the age and level of understanding. For younger children, they may understand that therapists are people play with them and who help them. For older children, you can have a conversation about why they are going to therapy, what will they get help with and how will it benefit them.
