How long does paediatric occupational therapy take to show results?

Most families notice initial changes within 4 to 6 sessions. Measurable improvements in fine motor skills and sensory regulation typically appear by week 6 to week 8. Significant milestone gains, such as independent dressing or improved handwriting, usually emerge within 3 to 4 months of weekly sessions. Progress depends on consistency, home practice, and the child's specific condition.
