FAQ

Occupational therapy addresses anything that "occupies" your time during your day to day.   
For kids, their main job is playing and learning.

• Are they learning age-appropriate behavior, attention, social, play, and emotional regulation skills? 
• Are they meeting school expectations? 
• Are they able to dress, bathe, and take care of themselves like same aged peers? 

Occupational therapists can work with people of any age. At Lotus Pediatric Therapy, we specifically work with kids and parents.

2) Holistic approach by gathering information about ... 

• The person (ex. child's current motor skills used during handwriting)
• The activity (ex. handwriting expectations at school)
• The environment (ex. classroom setting) 

Followed by asking "What can we do to change or help the person, activity, or environment in order to promote functional skills (ex. school performance requiring handwriting)?"

Based on your child’s evaluation, you will collaborate with your therapist to determine the best location. For example, if your main concern is behavior at home, sessions could take place in your home. If your main concern is social skills at restaurants, we could go to local restaurants. If your main concern is cognitive skills, we could complete online sessions. Location of treatment can change as needed. 

Sessions include one on one direct therapy aimed at achieving agreed upon therapy goals. 

Parent / caregiver involvement during sessions depends on child need, but we do ask you to stay on site. 

This depends on the results of your child’s evaluation and treatment progress.
