Your Child’s Therapy Journey

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, but our team is here to make each step clear and comfortable. From your first inquiry through your child’s individualized treatment program, we work closely with your family to provide expert guidance, thoughtful communication, and compassionate pediatric care.

Begin by completing our secure online intake form. This allows our office to learn more about your child, your concerns, relevant medical history, insurance information, and scheduling needs.

After reviewing the information submitted, a member of our team will contact you to discuss appointment availability, required documents, insurance procedures, and next steps.

Request an Evaluation

Submission of an intake form does not guarantee an appointment, insurance coverage, authorization, reimbursement, or payment.

Before your child’s first appointment

Families will be asked to provide:

  • Completed intake and medical-history forms

  • Front and back of the child’s insurance card

  • A physician’s prescription

  • Completed Financial Policy and Credit Card Authorization forms

  • Relevant medical, developmental, school, or previous therapy records

 

Comprehensive Evaluation

PROVIDING THE TOOLS YOU NEED

Your child will receive a comprehensive, individualized evaluation with a licensed pediatric physical or occupational therapist.

Depending upon your child’s age, needs, and reason for referral, the evaluation may include clinical observation, standardized assessment, and examination of relevant areas such as developmental skills, mobility, posture, strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, gait, fine-motor abilities, visual-motor skills, self-care skills, or sensory-motor function.

Evaluations are 45 to 60 minutes. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to share their concerns, priorities, and observations throughout the visit.

 

Results & Recommendations

Following the evaluation, your therapist will explain the findings, answer your questions, and discuss whether physical or occupational therapy is recommended.

When therapy is appropriate, your therapist will review the recommended frequency of care, initial treatment priorities, and meaningful goals for your child. Families will also receive practical strategies or activities that can be incorporated into daily routines at home.

When appropriate, your therapist may recommend consultation with another medical, developmental, or educational professional to ensure that your child receives comprehensive support.

 

Therapy & Progress

PLAY-BASED SESSIONS

Treatment sessions are individualized, one-on-one, and designed around your child’s specific needs and goals.

Our therapists combine skilled clinical intervention with purposeful, play-based activities to help children build strength, movement skills, coordination, confidence, and independence. Activities are selected to be both meaningful and motivating while addressing the skills your child needs for everyday participation.

Parents and caregivers are important members of the therapy team. Your therapist will provide practical carryover activities, update recommendations as your child progresses, and work collaboratively with your family and medical team.

With your therapist’s permission, families may record demonstrations of recommended carryover activities to support accurate performance at home.
