Occupational Therapy Sessions

Occupational Therapy sessions

Occupational therapy is beneficial for helping people across the lifespan engage in meaningful activities whether after an injury or because of a congenital or acquired condition.

OT helps people in many areas and for children this includes:

-Eating

-Play

-Sleep

-Participating in School

-Social Participation

-Fine and Gross Motor Skills

-Visual Skills

-Executive Functioning

-Self-Regulation

-Sensory Processing

The OT process begins with a comprehensive intake and screening evaluation to develop goals to help the individual and family identify & prioritize areas of need.

OT OuTside contracts with therapists who work closely with schools, including teachers, teaching assistants, administrators to ensure success and progression in all environments.

The therapists work within schools to provide support to your child and maintain a strong relationship with the classroom teacher, assistants, and Learning Support Team to create embedded supports for your child.

Providing OT during the school day allows your child to enjoy after school activities with their peers and free-time to unwind after working so hard all day while at school. We also provide services after school to facilitate carryover in the home or community.

Parent coaching is a large part of occupational therapy. The therapists collaborate with parents to understand their child’s sensory systems, routines, habits, and role within the family unit. We also focus on co-regulation strategies to facilitate a more regulated home environment.

Please reach out to inquire about connecting with a therapist for your child and start with a complimentary consultation.

Therapists available for observations, consultation, Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE), Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA), school/ classroom environment consultation and evaluation, and home evaluations to develop home programs.
