Yes! Many children who don’t meet the eligibility criteria for early intervention or school-based services can still benefit from private therapy. These programs often have strict guidelines, meaning a child may not “qualify” even though they’re experiencing challenges that impact their daily routines, play, or learning. In private practice, we can address these areas proactively and provide individualized support to help your child build confidence and develop the skills they need to thrive.

No. Occupational therapists don’t provide medical or developmental diagnoses. Instead, we focus on evaluating your child’s strengths and areas of need through observation and assessment. Using this information, we create individualized plans to support skill development, daily functioning, and participation in home, school, and community activities.
