Q: Who qualifies for OT services?
You will need a prescription from your doctor to receive OT services and the prescription will be required at your evaluation.

Goals are determined and set based on identified deficits and the level of importance that the family places on addressing these deficits. Your occupational therapist will guide you in understanding childhood development so that measurable goals will be realistic based on achievable proposed results.
