Frequently Asked Questions

Pediatric therapy includes occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy services designed specifically for children. These therapies help children develop the skills they need for everyday life, communication, and physical development.

We work with children from infancy through adolescence. Our therapists are experienced with toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, pre-teens, and teens.

The first visit typically involves a comprehensive evaluation where the therapist observes your child, assesses their skills and challenges, and discusses your concerns and goals. It's a collaborative process — your input as a parent is essential.

The duration of therapy varies based on each child's needs and goals. Some children benefit from a few months of therapy, while others may need longer-term support. We regularly reassess progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Very involved! We believe in a family-centered approach. Parents are encouraged to observe sessions, and we provide coaching and strategies you can use at home to reinforce your child's progress.

Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills needed for daily 'occupations' — play, learning, self-care, and social participation. OTs address challenges with fine motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and independence.

OT can help children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, developmental delays, anxiety, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, fine motor difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and executive functioning difficulties.

Sessions are play-based and engaging. Your child might work on puzzles, sensory activities, art projects, obstacle courses, or daily living tasks — all carefully designed to target their specific therapeutic goals in a fun, motivating way.

Most children attend OT 1-2 times per week. The frequency depends on your child's needs and goals, and is determined during the evaluation process. We work with families to find a schedule that works.

Pediatric speech therapy helps children with communication challenges — from producing sounds clearly (articulation) to understanding and using language, social communication, fluency (stuttering), and even feeding and swallowing concerns.

Consider speech therapy if your child isn't meeting communication milestones, has difficulty being understood, struggles with following directions, has limited vocabulary for their age, stutters, or has difficulty eating or swallowing.

We offer parent/caregiver coaching sessions virtually, which can include speech-related strategies. Please contact us to discuss the best option for your child's specific needs.

Session lengths vary based on your child's needs and treatment plan. Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. Your therapist will recommend the best duration during the evaluation.
