[We] brought our son in for his first OT evaluation. Even after that first session I was blown away and I'm confident that Michaelene is absolutely going to be able to help us understand our son more, help him become aware of the "superpowers" that he possesses; how to take ownership of them, how to utilize them.... and the appropriate times to do so.

Our evaluations usually take about an hour to complete, and hour and a half at most.
The best way to get started is by filling out our contact form. This will help us understand more about you, your child, and how we can help you. After you submit our contact form, you will need to fill out our intake forms & call your pediatrician to get a prescription for an OT evaluation & treatment. If you have insurance with BCBS/Anthem, we will also need a picture of your insurance card. Once we have all of these documents gathered we will schedule the evaluation. Typically we schedule 2 - 3 weeks out.
