Getting started

A first visit built around your child.

Bring your questions about movement, play, dressing or mealtimes. We take time to get to know your child, explain the assessment and discuss the everyday activities that matter to your family.

Before your appointment

Contact the clinic

We email client portal access instructions to the parent’s registered email address. Please complete the intake and consent forms in the portal before the evaluation. Call us if you need help accessing or completing them.

Insurance and payment

What happens during the first evaluation?

Plan for about 50 minutes to one hour. Your family will meet the therapist and any volunteers or helpers involved in supporting the visit or program.

The therapist explains what the evaluation involves and the purpose of the tests being used. You can ask questions as we go. You are welcome to watch the assessment or wait in the waiting area, whichever feels right for your family.

We work to make your child as comfortable as possible. Playful interaction helps them stay engaged as the therapist guides them through assessment activities and observes their skills. We adapt how we engage your child while following the requirements of the tests being used.

We discuss your concerns and use the evaluation findings to set goals connected to everyday life, such as getting dressed, joining play or participating at mealtimes.

What does therapy look like?

Our therapy is child-led and guided by the goals established at the evaluation. Your child’s interests help shape the play and activities we use to work toward those goals.

At each visit, the therapist considers your child’s sensory needs and how they are doing that day. We adjust activities and the environment to support engagement and participation. For a child working on feeding, this may include opportunities to explore foods they tend to avoid, at a pace suited to their needs.

You are part of the conversation

We discuss your child’s progress after each session and how the activities connect with daily routines. We also review progress at the six-month and one-year marks through reevaluation and progress notes.

Your observations help us understand how things are going beyond the clinic and which goals continue to matter most to your family.

Common questions

Can I stay with my child?

Yes. You may stay in the gym to watch or participate, or choose to wait in the waiting area. If your child needs time to get comfortable, you are welcome to join them and the therapist. Sometimes we encourage parent participation to help you carry activities into everyday routines.

What if my child needs time to settle in?

Let us know what usually helps. We use playful interaction and take your child’s comfort into account as we guide the visit. You are welcome to participate alongside the therapist.

How long is the first evaluation?

The first evaluation usually takes about 50 minutes to one hour.

Which ages do you see?

We primarily work with children from birth through age 16. We consider other ages case by case. Contact us to discuss your child’s needs.

Do I need records or a referral?

Requirements depend on your situation and coverage. Ask us what is needed before your appointment and how to submit it. Please complete your portal intake and consent forms before the evaluation.

Can we drop in?

Visits are by appointment only. We answer calls and questions between 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Call us to discuss an appointment.
