Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
How do I know if my child needs OT?
If you notice challenges with balance, coordination, self-regulation, school skills, social interactions, self-care, play skills, focus or attention, we suggest scheduling a screening appointment with an occupational therapist.
How long will my child need occupational therapy?
The duration that your child will be in OT will be recommended as an evaluation has been completed and the therapist becomes familiar with your child. Following through with activities that your therapist suggest at home will expedite your child’s therapy with us.
Will my child grow out of these issues?
We all change as we mature and develop. Sensory Integration concerns are not something that children grow out of. Early identification and treatment can make a huge impact on your child’s physical development and psychological well-being. When we understand how a child processes sensory information, we can create individualized activities that give comfort and support sensory processing. A child who feels understood develops lifelong confidence and self esteem.
How long is an occupational therapy session?
Each session is 50-minutes of direct 1:1 treatment. The last few minutes are dedicated to talking with parents/caregivers about the session.
Can my child receive OT at home or in the classroom?
Yes. Depending on your child’s identified needs, we will occasionally visit a classroom or home to provide insight and support related to the occupational therapy your child is receiving.
We also offer routine treatment within your home or in the classroom based on the needs identified.
Does Tumble N' Dots accept my insurance?
