💛 What to Expect: Your Child’s Journey with Little Paws OT

Starting occupational therapy is a wonderful step toward helping your child thrive. We make the entire process simple, stress-free, and comfortable by bringing everything directly to you.

Here is exactly how we will work together from our very first chat to your child's first home session:

Step 1: Our Welcome Call

Once you submit a request on our website, Caroline will call you directly. This informal phone chat is a chance for us to connect, discuss your main concerns, and make sure Little Paws Occupational Therapy is the perfect fit for your family.

Step 2: Simple Online Paperwork

If we decide to move forward, we will send you a secure link to fill out your intake forms completely online. You can complete these at your own pace from your computer before our first visit.

Step 3: Caregiver Review & Chat

During the first few minutes of our home visit, we will sit down together to review your online paperwork. We will chat through your child's intake form, dive into their daily routines, and make sure all of your questions are answered.

Step 4: Play & Rapport Building

Before jumping into any formal testing, Caroline will spend time playing and interacting with your child in their natural environment. Building a warm, trusting relationship and making your child feel safe is our absolute top priority.

Step 5: Completing the Evaluation

While your child is comfortable and engaged, Caroline will observe their natural movements, sensory responses, and play skills. We combine these observations with friendly assessments to accurately measure their developmental baselines.

Step 6: Discussing Our Goals

At the very end of this first session, we will wrap up by talking about your primary hopes for therapy. Together, we will outline the specific, functional goals we want your child to achieve, ensuring our priorities perfectly align with your family's needs.

Step 7: Your Custom Treatment Plan

By your very next session, Caroline will present a fully mapped-out, individualized treatment plan. This document details the exact milestones, sensory strategies, and playful interventions we will use week-to-week to help your child succeed.
