Occupational therapy
Your child’s world is full of big emotions, big milestones, and big challenges—and sometimes, they need a little extra support to navigate it all. Whether it’s sensory struggles, fine motor skills, self-regulation, or daily tasks that feel impossible, occupational therapy can make life easier (for them and for you).
For parents wondering, “Is this normal?”
For families feeling stuck in the daily battles.
For teachers, pediatricians, and caregivers looking for the right resources.

You’re Here for a Reason.
Let’s Figure Out What Comes Next.
. . . Maybe you’re here because a pediatrician told you to be.
Occupational therapy (OT) at Therapy South is about helping kids navigate the world with more confidence, independence, and ease.
Whether it’s sensory challenges, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, or daily tasks that feel impossible—our job is to make those things less stressful, more manageable, and even fun.
Whatever brought you here, we see you. We’ve got you.
. . . Maybe you’ve Googled every milestone chart and something isn’t adding up.
. . . Maybe daily life is harder than it should be, and no one seems to have answers.
So, let’s start with this:
✔ This isn’t about “fixing” your child. It’s about giving them the tools to thrive.
✔ This isn’t just about today. It’s about building skills for years to come.
✔ You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

little victories matter.
You’re noticing little things: frustration with simple tasks, struggles with motor skills, difficulty following directions, or extreme reactions to sensory input.
You’re not sure if it’s a phase or something bigger, but your gut says to check it out.
You’ve read the books, followed the Instagram therapists, and tried the tips from other parents.
But the meltdowns, rigidity, or daily battles over things like dressing, eating, or transitions just won’t stop.
You need help that actually makes a difference.
You’ve done OT before. Your child has made progress.
But new challenges are popping up, and you need fresh strategies.
Or maybe you just need someone to say, "Yes, you're on the right track—keep going."
You’re seeing it in the classroom—
kids struggling with focus, motor skills, self-regulation, or social interactions.
You want resources that actually help.
Whether it’s classroom strategies, direct OT referrals, or support for families, we’re here to collaborate.

What Exactly is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps kids do the things that matter most in daily life—playing, learning, socializing, eating, dressing, and feeling confident in their own bodies.
This isn’t about checking boxes or hitting every milestone perfectly—it’s about helping your child feel more at ease in the world around them.

01
How do I know if my child needs OT?
If you’re here, chances are something isn’t feeling quite right—whether it’s motor skills, emotional regulation, sensory challenges, or daily routines feeling harder than they should. If you’re unsure, that’s okay! We’ll guide you through an evaluation to determine if OT is the right fit.
02
What happens during an evaluation?
The evaluation is our chance to get to know your child, their strengths, and their challenges. We’ll ask you lots of questions about daily routines, observe your child through play, and do some structured activities to assess their needs. Think of it as a collaborative process—we’re here to listen, not just test.
03
What does an OT session look like?
Every session is tailored to your child’s unique needs, but it might include:
✔ Sensory play (helping kids regulate big feelings)
✔ Fine motor activities (like handwriting or using utensils)
✔ Movement exercises (for balance, coordination, and core strength)
✔ Daily skill-building (getting dressed, brushing teeth, feeding)
Most importantly, it’s fun! Therapy doesn’t feel like work—it feels like play, but with a purpose.
04
How often will my child need OT?
This depends on your child’s needs. Some children benefit from weekly sessions, while others may come twice a week or less frequently as they gain independence. We’ll create a plan that makes sense for your family.
05
Do I need to be in the sessions?
Your level of involvement depends on what works best for you. Some parents love to be hands-on and ask lots of questions (hi, Knowledge Seekers!). Others have packed schedules and need practical takeaways (shoutout to our Loving Jugglers!). Either way, we’ll meet you where you are—but the more involved you are, the more we can help you integrate skills at home.
06
How long does therapy last? When will my child be discharged?
Our goal is always progress and independence, not just keeping kids in therapy forever. We’ll talk about discharge from the first session so you have a clear idea of long-term goals. Every child’s timeline is different, but we’ll continuously assess progress and adjust accordingly.
07
What if I don’t think my child needs OT?
If you’re feeling skeptical (we see you, Curious Skeptics!), we get it. Not every child needs therapy, and if we determine that your child is on track, we’ll tell you that. But if there are skills that could help them long-term, we’ll explain why—without pressure, just facts.
08
Will my insurance cover OT?
Coverage depends on your plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your benefits. If you need help navigating this, our team is happy to assist!
