How to Get Started:
1️⃣ Reach Out
Begin with a phone call or email to connect with Shine Therapies for Kids. I would love to chat with you! I can answer questions and guide you through the next steps. Shine offers FREE consultations!
2️⃣ Physician Referral
A referral from your child’s physician is required for occupational therapy services. This can often be obtained with your concerns through parent request. I can help you through this step.
3️⃣ Schedule the Evaluation
We’ll set up a time for your child’s evaluation. This appointment is designed to help us learn about your child’s unique needs.
4️⃣ The Evaluation Process
During the evaluation (about 1 hour), I will:
Talk with you about your child’s history and current concerns.
Observe your child’s functional performance.
Use standardized assessments to gain further information and obtain a baseline of skills.
5️⃣ Moving Forward
After the evaluation, we’ll discuss next steps and recommendations tailored to your child and the needs of your family. You will be provided a written document with the evaluation results as well as a plan for the next steps. This could include ideas and suggestions to support your child, more specific home programming, individualized direct OT services, or outside referrals.
You and your child are in the driver's seat. I am here to support you on your journey! 😊
Monday-Friday 8am-7pm
Hours are subject to change. Please ask for specific days/times.
I want to provide you and your family with a schedule that works for YOU!
