FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Most of our services with the exclusion of groups are eligible for insurance coverage. We are happy to have our billing team help to verify your benefits at the time of inquiry.
All plans vary greatly so clients are expected to understand their own benefits, in/out of network status and changes to policies.
Services are tailored to the individual needs of the client and also subject to availability. Typically sessions are 1-2 times weekly, unless otherwise indicated.
Services offered in schools are limited to being only relevant within the academic environment and are often 20-30 minutes and/or within a small group. Outpatient therapy is often essential to supplement school services to involve the family/home component as well as to give much more specific, individualized attention to the areas of need.
A child’s occupation is play, daily living and participation in school. OT is a functional therapy to support a child in their occupation including self-regulation, sensory processing, executive functioning, attention, feeding, dressing, handwriting, cutting, motor planning, balance, visual perceptual skills and more.
While many therapeutic interventions for children exist, very few fully include the family into the process in a meaningful way. To us, Family-Centered practice means that we work closely with parents to hear their concerns, support the most individualized treatment and find ways we can improve the family experience overall. Our goal is to not only work 1:1 with the child, but to empower the family with ways to support their child’s development between therapy sessions.
Play is the medium through which therapy occurs with children. This is because play is the primary vehicle for learning in childhood. It is literally a child’s job to play! This allows our clinicians to tailor the play to the child’s interests, making the session fun and engaging for our clients. When therapy is fun, children meet their goals in more meaningful and long lasting ways.
