Q. How do we decide how long to continue occupational therapy?
A. The decision to “graduate” from O.T. is usually made by the parents and therapist together. It is based on progress made toward the referral issues, family skills to maintain progress and continue it at home, and other services that can help and support the child and family (ex. school). While some kids may “catch up” in all areas of development, many may need to focus on making some improvements in the underlying functions as well as learning to manage and compensate for the difficulties.
