If you’re unsure whether your child needs Occupational, Physical, Speech Therapy, or Nutrition, start by scheduling an evaluation with our team. We’ll assess your child’s needs and recommend the appropriate therapy based on their specific needs. Contact us today to get guidance on the best approach for your child’s development. 

To get started, first obtain a prescription for each service you’re seeking from your child’s pediatrician. Next, contact our office to schedule an initial evaluation. We’ll guide you through the intake process, including verifying insurance and discussing your therapy options. 

During the initial visit, you can expect a thorough evaluation to assess your child’s needs. We’ll discuss their goals, review the medical history, engage your child in fun activities to evaluate function and outline a personalized therapy plan. Our focus is always on creating a supportive and welcoming experience for both you and your child, setting a foundation of trust and collaboration that will support your child’s therapeutic journey and ensure a smooth and positive start. 

The initial visit will be an evaluation. We see children for an evaluation prior to deciding therapy needs. The evaluation will allow you and the therapist to discuss your concerns as well as functional skills you would like your child to develop. The therapist will also engage your child in a variety of activities to get a better idea of what is impacting function.

At the end of the evaluation, the therapist will discuss with you how much therapy your child will benefit from. Typically children are scheduled to come once a week for therapy. We schedule these appointments on the same day and time each week to provide families with a consistent schedule. These weekly sessions could last for several months or longer. Depending on your child’s needs, their sessions may be increased to twice weekly or reduced to a lesser frequency. 

Yes, your child can receive multiple therapies in a day, depending on availability, care plan appropriateness and their level of tolerance. Flexibility is key, as scheduling and the types of therapies needed will influence the accommodation. We’ll work with you to create a plan that balances effectiveness and comfort for your child.

Yes, you can participate in your child’s therapy sessions. Your involvement is encouraged as it helps reinforce techniques and strategies at home. We value your partnership in the therapy process and will guide you on how best to support your child during sessions. Talk to your child’s therapist to learn more about how you can be actively involved in their progress.

Our therapy sessions are generally 35 or 50 minutes. The duration depends on the type of therapy and your child’s tolerance for participation in therapeutic activities. Timeliness to appointments is also crucial to ensure the full session. We will work with you to determine the best schedule for your child’s needs and comfort. 

The frequency and duration of therapy will depend on several factors including your child’s condition, primary goals and practice opportunities between visits but typically ranges from once to twice a week. Family involvement outside of sessions is important for reinforcing skills and supporting progress. We’ll discuss with you and tailor the therapy plan based on your child’s needs and will guide you on how to support their development at home.  

Progress timelines vary based on your child’s condition and therapy goals. Some improvements may be seen within a few weeks, while more significant changes might take several months. Consistent participation and family involvement are key to achieving the best outcomes. We’ll provide regular updates and adjust the plan of care as needed to support continued progress.
