Frequently Asked Questions
Below are questions about The Primary OT. If you don't see an answer to your question, please feel free to e-mail with your question!
1. What does a pediatric occupational therapist do?
A pediatric occupational therapist helps children develop the skills they need to perform everyday activities, such as playing, learning, and self-care. It focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory processing, and social skills, allowing to participate more fully in their daily lives.
2. Do you accept insurance?
At this time, I am only an in-network with Horizon BCBS PPO. For all other insurances, I will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company by using your out-of-network benefits.
3. Where is your clinic space?
My clinic space is wherever you are! As a mobile therapist, I travel within a 15 mile radius of Flemington to work with your child in your home. Since I am mobile, there's no need to drive to a location and wait in the waiting room.
4. What does an evaluation look like?
An evaluation will include an assessment of your child's skills - a standardized assessment or two may be used, but much of it is play/functionally based. A parent/guardian interview will be conducted to understand your needs and expectations for therapy.
5. What are sessions like?
Sessions are typically once a week for 45 minutes. Sessions will be based working towards goals that have been set for your child's progress. I vary the content of our sessions to keep them interesting and also incorporate their interests.
6. Do you have a waiting list?
No! I am available to see kids as soon as intake paperwork is completed.
