What happens after you refer
We contact the family
We reach out to the caregiver directly to answer questions, walk them through the process, and get intake paperwork started.
Comprehensive evaluation
The child's first appointment is an occupational therapy evaluation: history review, caregiver concerns and priorities, observation, and appropriate standardized assessment.
You receive a written evaluation
The family receives a written evaluation summarizing findings and recommendations, and we share it with referring providers where appropriate.
Ongoing communication
Progress is monitored throughout the plan of care. We communicate with providers when appropriate and complete re-evaluations as required by insurance and clinical guidelines.

We work alongside you, not around you
Therapy extends beyond the clinic walls. We collaborate with physicians, teachers, lactation consultants, and other providers so the same strategies follow a child across every environment, and so nobody is working from a different plan.
Schools and daycares: if a child on your campus would benefit from coordination with our team, call us. We're glad to talk through goals and carryover strategies.
Have a patient in mind?
Call and we'll talk through whether occupational therapy is the right fit before any paperwork changes hands.
