BTS gives schools and providers the tools to help children succeed.
A dynamic partnership between Boothby Therapy Services, schools and providers gives children a better chance to succeed, in school and in life. We exist to help children succeed. We do this by partnering with schools and with the Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, Teachers of the Visually Impaired, and School Psychologists that we provide to schools for children with special needs. We know the dynamics of school administration, and the needs of Special Education Administrators. We save schools administrative time and expense by providing only those services needed, when and where they are needed; and by giving clear guidance when a district needs to reduce overall costs while improving student outcomes.

Providers have needs too.
As providers and administrators ourselves, we understand that every situation is different. We do everything possible to accommodate individual provider’s needs with flexible and supportive employment solutions that put professional satisfaction first. As a provider, your primary goal is to help children; ours is to provide the best employment situation and support to make that possible. Learn more about what we offer our Providers.
Helping children succeed is what we do best.

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:

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.
