I called to schedule an intake for both of my sons who are on the spectrum, and had to cancel suddenly due to transportation issues. I left a message explaining our reasoning for our cancellation, and called back a few weeks later to reschedule. Apparently no one in the office seemed to get the messages, and when I called and spoke with the "owner" she was VERY disrespectful and degrading!! We had been clients years before and had to abruptly quit due to a domestic situation, and seemed to remember us. I couldn't believe her tone and demeanor towards a possible client. She works in the office and takes the messages, so BEWARE of communication issues. Owner could use some training in manners! And needless to say, I was crude right back due to her ill-mannered attitude.

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with you, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon your strengths. If there are others part of your care team, the therapist may teach strategies for supporting your individualized needs at home and may recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help you thrive.
Monitor your progress. You can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure you're achieving your short and long-term goals.
Even if a provider offers parent training, it may look different from one provider to another. For example, an in-home provider might conduct a parent training session directly following a therapy session with your child to help explain what they’ve been working on with your child. At larger organizations, you might have a support group of families who are dealing with similar issues.
