OT Services
We are excited to offer clinic-based OT services at our new Spring Lake office! We also travel to any number of physical locations including a child's home, school, or other community setting within 20 minutes of Spring Lake, MI.
​
Pediatric occupational therapy services are also available via teletherapy for the states of Michigan, Illinois, Vermont, and Florida.
Screening sessions are offered to determine whether a child would benefit from a full OT evaluation. Screening tools/activities used will largely depend on parent concerns and needs of the child. This service includes a short written summary of the information gathered during the screening and OT recommendations. Screenings can be virtual or in-person.
Formal Evaluations
Formal initial evaluations provide important data points and clinical observations that allow the occupational therapist to determine the child's eligibility for services. The evaluation includes a thorough OT report and follow-up meeting with parents to discuss findings and recommendations. The OT and caregivers will collaborate to create a plan of action. Evaluations can be virtual or in-person.
Individualized OT Treatment
Individualized treatments are typically 45-60 minutes in length. Treatments are available in-person or virtually. Sessions are child-led, with a focus on developing skills necessary to promote a child's independence and success during meaningful occupations. A child's primary occupation is play, which is why we use a heavily play-based approach to treatment. At Sensational Steps Therapy, Inc. we are proud to offer:
Caregiver Consultation and Coaching
Parent/caregiver consultations are 1:1, approximately 30 minutes, and can be held via phone or video call. The purpose of these consultations is to discuss questions or concerns related to a child's development, sensory needs, social-emotional regulation, fine motor and handwriting skills, or IEPs. This session will provide parents with strategies to use to support a child's development. In addition, a formal OT evaluation may be recommended as a beneficial next step. Consultations do NOT include a written report and are not a determination of OT eligibility.
Group Therapy
Group Therapy is on hold during Covid, but please check back for Sensory-Motor, Handwriting, Social-Emotional, and Adolesent groups.
