COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about in-home pediatric occupational therapy? Here are a few helpful answers as you decide if OT the Way is the right fit for your family.

Is occupational therapy right for my child?

Pediatric occupational therapy can support children who are having difficulty participating in everyday activities at home, school, or in the community.

We may help with concerns related to feeding, emotional regulation, sensory processing, attention and regulation, fine motor skills, self-care, play, developmental skills, transitions between activities, and daily routines.

If you're noticing a challenge and aren't sure whether OT can help, we encourage you to reach out. We are happy to talk with you about your concerns and help determine whether an evaluation or consultation may be appropriate.

My child doesn't have a diagnosis. Can I still contact you?

Absolutely!

A child does not need to have a formal diagnosis to have concerns that may benefit from occupational therapy. Parents are often the first to notice when something isn't quite right.

You may notice that your child is having difficulty eating, tolerating certain textures, participating in routines, getting dressed, playing with others, regulating their emotions, sitting for activities, or completing age-appropriate tasks.

You don't have to wait for a diagnosis before asking questions. If something feels harder than it should, we're happy to talk with you about your concerns and determine whether occupational therapy may be appropriate.

We'll discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and help you determine the appropriate next step.

    Complete our contact form, email us, or give us a call to tell us a little about your child and what you're noticing.
  2. Let's talk.
    We'll set up a time to discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and determine whether our services may be a good fit.
  3. Schedule your evaluation.
    If an evaluation is recommended, we'll find a time that works for your family and determine whether an in-home or telehealth appointment is appropriate.
  4. Create a plan together.
    After the evaluation, we'll discuss our findings and recommendations and work with you to determine the best next steps.

Our goal is to make the process feel simple, supportive, and collaborative from the very beginning.
