How it Works

Getting Started

We begin with a consultation to explore goals, concerns, and whether occupational therapy is a good fit.

Assessment and Intake

Assessment may include conversation, observation, and standardized or informal tools to understand strengths, challenges, and participation in daily life.

Therapy Sessions

Sessions are individualized, functional, and grounded in real routines and environments.

Goal Setting and Progress

Goals are collaborative and meaningful, with regular check-ins to guide progress and adjust supports.

Collaboration

When appropriate, collaboration may include caregivers, educators, or other members of the support team.

Frequency and Duration

Service frequency and duration are flexible and responsive to individual needs.

Policies and Expectations

Clear communication around scheduling, cancellations, and expectations supports consistency and trust.

Fees

Session fees vary depending on service type and length. Clear fee information is provided before services begin. Receipts are provided for insurance or benefit plans where applicable.

Assessment is used to better understand how a person participates in daily life, including how they notice, interpret, and respond to body signals, sensory input, learning demands, and environmental expectations.

Assessment is collaborative and strengths-based, and findings are used to directly guide therapy, accommodations, and practical strategies.

 

Depending on age, goals, and context, assessment may include:
