OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS IN PRIVATE PRACTICE WORKING WITH CHILDREN

Occupational Therapists provide assessment and therapy for children who are experiencing difficulties in their development and learning. The areas Occupational Therapists may assess include play skills, self care skills, feeding skills, sensory processing, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, visual -motor coordination, visual perception, handwriting, social skills and self-esteem. Occupational Therapists may specialise in one of the above outlined areas.

When choosing a private clinician, it may be helpful to ask some of the following questions:

 What is your area of specialty?

 What age group do you usually see?

 What is your appointment availability?

 Where will the service be provided; home, school, clinic?

 What programs are offered? Is it on a group or individual basis?

 Will you provide me with a written report?

 What will the appointment cost? Do you bulk bill?

 Are you registered with Medicare/my private health insurer? Can you tell me how much the Medicare/private health rebate is? Government ofWestern Australia
