Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pediatric OT helps children develop the skills they need for everyday life — from self-care (like dressing and feeding) to school readiness (like handwriting and attention) to play and social interaction.
-
Consider an OT evaluation if your child:
Struggles with attention, focus, or following directions
Has difficulty with fine motor skills (cutting, writing, buttoning)
Is sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement
Has trouble with transitions, emotional regulation, or social skills
Shows delays in self-care skills like feeding or dressing
-
We’ll complete:
A caregiver interview to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals
Play-based observations and standardized testing
Review of developmental history and reports from other providers
A written report with recommendations and a personalized therapy plan
-
Office-based services – Structured environment with specialized equipment
Home visits – Support in your child’s natural environment
School/community settings – Collaboration with teachers and caregivers for carryover of skills
-
Frequency depends on your child’s needs and goals. Many children benefit from 1–2 sessions per week, but we’ll work with you to create a schedule that supports progress and fits your family’s routine.
-
We work with children from 3 years of age through early adolescence, tailoring therapy to each stage of development.
-
We are out-of-network. We provide detailed invoices (superbills) so families can submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement.
-
Comfortable clothing that allows movement (leggings, shorts, t-shirts) is best. Sneakers, or closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety.
