School-based therapy addresses issues that impact academic and classroom performance, whereas outpatient or medically- based therapy addresses issues that impact quality of life, home, and community based issues. There can be overlap in goals since children spend most of their time in school.

Yes, an evaluation is required to determine if services are recommended, determine baseline data, frequency of services, and to establish goals and objectives for treatment. We offer both formal and informal evaluations. 

Length of therapy varies for each child and his/her needs. Following the evaluation, your child’s therapist will determine an initial length of treatment and re-evaluate your child’s needs at regular intervals.

Sensory processing refers to the way we register, interpret, process, and respond to sensory information from the environment. It is a foundational skill which forms the basis for new and higher level skill acquisition.
