We Treat In the Child’s Natural Environment
Treating in the home benefits the child by providing a more relaxing environment while increasing independence and incorporating the family.
Why it is important for pediatric occupational therapy in the home?
Children are often more at ease in their own home environment, which can lead to increased engagement and participation in therapy activities.
- Convenience and Reduced Stress: Eliminating the need to travel to a clinic saves time and reduces stress for both the child and their family. This can be particularly beneficial for families with busy schedules or children with transportation difficulties.
- Enhanced Generalization of Skills: By working in the home, therapists can directly address challenges related to the child’s natural environment leading to greater independence and improved overall functioning in daily activities.
- Increased Family Involvement: In-home pediatric occupational therapy provides opportunities for greater family involvement, allowing parents and caregivers to actively participate in therapy sessions and learn strategies to support their child’s development.
- Privacy and Individualized Attention: In-home sessions offer a private and comfortable setting for therapy, ensuring individualized attention and addressing any sensitive issues related to the child’s development.
What happens during pediatric occupational therapy?
During the evaluation process, we carefully observe the child’s interactions with them, assessing their communication patterns, emotional responses, and overall comfort level. We also gather feedback from parents or caregivers to gain a deeper understanding of the child’s temperament, preferences, and any potential challenges that may arise in the therapeutic relationship.
What are the benefits of pediatric occupational therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) can help your child learn new skills and improve their abilities to participate in everyday activities. The specific activities and exercises that your child will do will vary depending on their individual needs and goals. Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) is a child-centered approach that helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday activities and reach their full potential.
How Can We Help your Child?
We recognize that the therapeutic relationship extends beyond the individual child and encompasses the family system as a whole.
Their ability to nurture a positive and supportive bond with each child is paramount for achieving meaningful and lasting improvements in the child’s overall development and quality of life.
The duration of each pediatric occupational therapy (OT) session and how often it takes place depends on your child’s needs. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
