Parents often contact us after conferring with their pediatrician, teachers, other professionals, friends - or through their own research.
OT evaluations are typically completed during two 45-60 minute sessions, using formal assessments along with clinical observations in our sensory gym. A parent feedback session is set up in the morning or early evening hours, with a formal written evaluation report to follow.
As an alternative to formal evaluation, we offer consultative visits where a child’s problem area is assessed through clinical observations of your child’s behavior and skill level in various play and daily living activities. A more formal evaluation may or may not be suggested.
If recommended, ongoing treatment sessions which last 45 minutes or 60 minutes are established once or twice a week.
A prescription from your child’s pediatrician, required by NYS licensing law, must be received prior to the second OT appointment; it can be faxed to us at 212-663-5503.
