What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Many people are surprised to hear that children participate in occupational therapy, because we usually associate the term occupation with work. Our therapists help children be successful in the many “jobs” of childhood, including play, self-care, school performance and social interactions. Developing these skills is critical for transition to the independence required in adulthood. As pediatric occupational therapists, we address many skills needed for success in a child’s daily life.

What to Expect

Every patient has a unique health history, diagnosis and personal goals. When you come for your first appointment, we will create a personalized treatment plan for you.

When to Arrive

On average, a patient’s first visit lasts about an hour. We typically ask patients to arrive 15 minutes early to sign-in, complete paperwork.

What to Bring

On your first visit, you’ll need to bring your physician referral or prescription (if needed), your insurance card, your primary registration forms, your ID or driver’s license and your co-payment (as applicable).

How it Works

During your first visit, your therapist will do an initial evaluation and discuss your plan of care. The therapist uses this information to set goals for your continued treatment. Your subsequent visits will focus on treatment that is based on your diagnosis and individualized goals.

We are always happy on Wednesdays when its time to come to therapy! Beyond Therapy is the greatest. God gave you a gift and I am glad my son was able to receive some of the blessings that you have to give. Thank you.

Our daughter was born with Heterotaxy including 14 heart defects, multiple spleens, a rare chialey disorder and sensory processing disorder. After trying to find answers for so long, we ended up at Beyond Therapy. We can’t begin to express our relief at finding a place that understood what our family was going through and finding someone who could help our child! We finally see light, finally see change for the better in our daughter. God brought us to Beyond Therapy when we thought we had nowhere else to turn. Thank you so much for all that you do not only for our child, but for so many other children and their families!

Our Speech Therapist at Beyond Therapy has been such a blessing. I could not have found a better therapist for my son. He has struggled with speech for 5 years, and I have been in and out of different therapy centers until someone mentioned ya’ll. Since we have been coming here, our son has improved drastically, where he wasn’t anywhere else. I am so happy with everything here at Beyond Therapy! Thanks to the B.T. Group and Staff!!

I’m impressed by how well everyone here works together to make sure that each patient is getting exactly what they need. All the therapists go above and beyond and are so well trained and great with kids! My son has made so much progress that he will no longer need speech therapy next month!
