What are SPOT sessions?

SPOT sessions, short for ‘speech pathologist and occupational therapist sessions’, are a unique and collaborative approach designed to support and achieve your child’s developmental goals.

During these sessions, both a speech pathologist (SP) and an occupational therapist (OT) work together to plan and facilitate activities tailored to your child’s needs.

Why choose SPOT sessions?

1. Integrated goals

By combining the expertise of both SP and OT, SPOT sessions allow for the integration of speech and occupational therapy goals within a single session.

This means your child can work on multiple skills simultaneously, making the most of their therapy time.

2. Generalisation of skills

The activities in SPOT sessions are designed to overlap, supporting the generalisation of skills across different contexts.

This helps your child apply what they learn in therapy to everyday situations more effectively.

3. Parent involvement

SPOT sessions provide more opportunities for parent coaching and interaction.

You can observe the sessions, ask questions, and learn strategies to support your child’s development at home.

By choosing SPOT sessions, you’re giving your child a comprehensive and cohesive approach to therapy that maximizes their potential.
