Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child needs therapy?
If your child is struggling with daily tasks, experiencing sensory challenges, or having difficulty with communication or emotional regulation, therapy might be beneficial.
Occupational therapy can help your child achieve a more regulated state more consistently so that they can be successful in their daily environments and activities.
Speech therapy can help your child communicate their wants and needs as well as better understand what is being spoken to them.
We’re here to guide you! Reach out for an evaluation, and we’ll help you assess your child’s unique needs.
What can I expect from the therapy process?
The first visit is typically an evaluation that lasts 45 minutes to an hour long. The parents or caregivers will be present for this visit. We will give you a tour of our clinic, conduct a parent interview, have you complete some questionnaires and paperwork, and also evaluate your child. After the evaluation, you will receive a report from your child’s occupational therapist or speech therapist. This report will include your child’s plan of care, or goals, for our treatment. Each session after this visit will typically be 30 minutes. Our sessions are all about play and connection! We’ll work with your child in a fun, engaging environment to build skills like coordination, sensory regulation, emotional awareness, speech and language skills, and engagement in a shared world. Along the way, we’ll empower you with tools to continue supporting their progress at home.
