The first visit should create clarity
Parents should not leave the first visit more confused. A good autism therapy consultation should explain what is being observed, what support may be useful, and what should be practised at home.
At DARC, autism support may involve OT, speech therapy, sensory integration, special education, parent training, or a combined plan depending on the child's profile.
What parents can bring
Bring school notes, previous reports, videos of concerns if useful, and a simple list of what worries you most: communication, meltdowns, sleep, food, attention, play, social interaction, learning or daily routines.
The more clearly parents share daily-life concerns, the better the therapy direction can match the child's real needs.
