What is the Foundation 6-session Block?
At The Spark, we support children and families through targeted, goal-focused therapy. As part of this model, we begin with a Foundation 6-Session Block designed to build understanding, explore needs, and begin working toward meaningful outcomes together.
The initial 6-session block provides an opportunity for:
-
Collaborating with you to set clear goals and identify next steps
-
Exploring your child’s strengths, interests, and challenges through a developmental lens
-
Exploring and experimenting with strategies to support their goals
-
Building you and your child’s capacity
Each session is tailored to what you have identified as most important to you. This may include:
-
Sessions with your child
-
Parent coaching – this is often the focus when you are seeking support with your child’s emotional regulation and behaviour
-
A visit to their educational setting
-
Written feedback is provided after each session with ideas for you to continue with.
Following the foundation 6 session block, the options are:
-
Continue with further sessions. In this case, OT goals will be reviewed and updated together.
-
Have a break from OT so you can focus on experimenting with strategies and consolidating skills (you can return to the waiting list for further OT sessions).
-
A summary report can be prepared with key ideas and strategies. This takes 45 - 60 mins and is charged at the hourly rate.
-
Discharge from OT
-
Referral to other services
-
Parent coaching and support.
Our 6-session foundation block is designed to ensure therapy is purposeful, goal-directed, and focused on building skills and capacity for your child and the people supporting them.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this model can support your child’s therapy journey, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
