About Pediatric Occupational Therapy

At Therapeutic Health & Home, we believe therapy happens best where life happens. As a mobile therapy clinic, we bring our services directly to the environments where children naturally live, play, and learn, including your home and the community.

​

This "natural environment" model ensures that therapy is functional, personalized, and directly connected to your family's daily routines. We partner with you to help your child build independence in self-care, improve coordination, strengthen emotional regulation, and grow essential social skills. By collaborating closely with families and other providers, we ensure progress is supported across every setting of your child’s life.

How to Receive Services:

Your child will need a referral from their pediatrician, nurse practitioner, or medical provider. Once our office receives the referral, our team will contact you to review the cost of services and answer questions prior to the evaluation.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Evaluation:

Evaluations are supportive, child-centered, and focused on comfort and trust. Because services are provided in your child’s natural environment, we can observe how skills show up in real-life routines. Sessions may include:

  • Review of medical, developmental, and family history

  • Discussion of caregiver concerns and goals

  • Assessment of fine motor skills, coordination, and strength

  • Observation of play skills, attention, and motor planning

  • Screening of sensory processing and regulation needs

  • Assessment of self-care skills such as dressing, feeding, and hygiene

  • Evaluation of visual-motor and visual-perceptual skills

  • Observation of emotional regulation and social participation

  • Development of an individualized therapy plan

  • Referrals to other professionals when appropriate
