What is pediatric occupational therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to perform daily activities, such as playing, learning, and self-care. It focuses on improving fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and independence.
What kinds of challenges can occupational therapy address?
Occupational therapy can support children with a variety of challenges, including:
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?
If your child is struggling with tasks that other children their age can typically do—such as holding a pencil, following instructions, staying focused, or managing emotions—an occupational therapy evaluation can help identify the underlying issues and provide a plan for improvement.
What happens during an occupational therapy session?
Each session is tailored to your child’s specific needs. Sessions are play-based and engaging to keep children motivated. Activities might include:
How long does my child need occupational therapy?
The duration of therapy depends on your child’s specific goals and progress. Some children may need therapy for a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Progress is regularly reviewed to adjust goals and the therapy plan as needed.
Do you offer in-home or virtual sessions?
Yes! As a mobile occupational therapy provider, we come directly to your home or a location convenient for you. We also offer virtual therapy sessions when appropriate, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for families.
How do you involve parents or caregivers in the therapy process?
Parent and caregiver involvement is key to your child’s success. We provide education, strategies, and activities that you can use at home to reinforce skills learned during therapy sessions. Regular updates and communication ensure you stay informed about your child’s progress.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based business and do not bill insurance directly. However, we can provide you with a super-bill, which you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits
What ages do you work with?
We typically work with children from infancy to adolescence. Whether your child is an infant with developmental delays or a teenager needing help with specific challenges, we customize our approach to fit their age and developmental level.
