PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY FAQ

  • What is occupational therapy via telehealth?

    Telehealth occupational therapy helps children develop functional skills needed for daily life—such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-regulation, and independence—through live virtual sessions with a licensed occupational therapist.

  • How does occupational therapy work virtually?

    Telehealth OT is highly interactive and activity-based. Therapists use everyday household items, movement activities, visual supports, and parent coaching to address goals in the child’s real-life environment.

  • What skills can telehealth occupational therapy address?

    Telehealth OT can support:

    • Fine motor skills and handwriting
    • Sensory integration and sensory regulation
    • Emotional regulation and coping strategies
    • Attention and executive functioning
    • Daily living skills (dressing, feeding routines, organization)
    • Visual-motor and perceptual skills

  • How is feeding therapy addressed through telehealth?

    Feeding-related goals within our telehealth model are typically addressed by occupational therapy and focus on:

    • Positioning and postural support during meals
    • Sensory integration related to feeding (tolerance of textures, tastes, smells)
    • Expanding food repertoire through exploration and exposure
    • Self-feeding skills such as utensil use, pacing, and independence

    Therapy is conducted using the child’s own foods, utensils, and mealtime environment, with a strong emphasis on parent coaching and carryover.


    *Swallowing concerns are not addressed within telehealth speech therapy. If swallowing or medical feeding concerns are identified, appropriate in-person referrals are made.



  • Who is telehealth occupational therapy best for?

    Telehealth OT is especially beneficial for children who:

    • Experience sensory processing or regulation challenges
    • Have feeding concerns related to sensory tolerance or self-feeding
    • Learn best within daily routines and environments
    • Benefit from caregiver involvement and coaching
    • Need flexible access to therapy services


  • Is telehealth occupational therapy effective?

    Yes. Telehealth OT is highly effective because therapy occurs in the child’s natural environment, allowing strategies for regulation, feeding routines, and independence to be practiced immediately.

  • What ages are appropriate for telehealth OT?

    Children of many ages benefit from telehealth OT, particularly when a caregiver is present to assist with activities and reinforce strategies.



  • Do I need special materials at home?

    No specialized equipment is required. Therapists primarily use common household items and provide guidance as needed.

  • Will parents need to assist during OT sessions?

    Yes. Caregiver participation is essential to support activities, sensory regulation strategies, and feeding routines between sessions.

  • How often will my child receive occupational therapy?

    Therapy frequency is determined following an evaluation and is individualized based on your child’s needs, goals, and sensory and functional profile.

Who We Treat For Occupational Therapy

We provide virtual pediatric occupational therapy for children from infancy through adolescence. Our licensed occupational therapists support children with a wide range of developmental and functional needs, including:
  • Fine motor and visual-motor delays
  • Sensory processing and regulation challenges
  • Difficulty with self-care and daily living skills (feeding, dressing, grooming)
  • Attention, executive functioning, and motor planning challenges
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Down syndrome
  • Developmental delays and coordination challenges

Our services are delivered entirely through secure telehealth, allowing families to access high-quality occupational therapy from home while supporting meaningful progress in daily routines.

Occupational therapy often works in collaboration with speech and physical therapy to support communication, movement, and independence as a connected system.

Because communication is closely connected to motor skills, sensory regulation, and daily routines, our speech therapists frequently collaborate with occupational and physical therapists to support the whole child.

Our Speech Therapy Approach

Our virtual occupational therapy sessions are engaging, functional, and rooted in real-life experiences. Therapy takes place in your child’s natural home environment, allowing skills to be practiced where they are needed most.

During sessions, children actively:
  • Use household items and everyday tools
  • Engage in hands-on, play-based activities
  • Participate in movement and regulation breaks
  • Practice daily living and self-care routines
  • Engage caregivers as active partners in therapy

Children are not passively watching a screen. Each session is interactive, goal-directed, and therapist-guided, with activities adapted in real time to meet your child’s needs.
We use evidence-based occupational therapy strategies, often shared across speech and physical therapy disciplines, to improve participation, independence, and confidence in everyday activities.
