Let’s Talk About…

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is all about helping you live your best life—at home, work, school, everywhere! It is a social and health care profession that uses science and evidence-based research to identify and address challenges in everyday life. These everyday tasks are called “occupations.”

“Occupations” include the things you do—like brushing your teeth or eating lunch—as well as your needs and desires. Occupational therapy care also considers your social interactions and relationships, your physical environment, and your dreams or ambitions.

This is what we mean when we say holistic care: we want to care for you as the complex, whole human you are!

Speech Therapy

Pediatric speech-language pathologists work with young people to increase their communication confidence and effectiveness. This can include improving verbal and non-verbal skills, feeding, and swallowing abilities. If it involves the muscles in your mouth and throat, speech therapy can help you out!

Speech therapy addresses three areas of communication: speech (the literal way we articulate our words); receptive language (processing and understanding information received from others); and expressive language (outward communication of our own wants and needs).

Communication is key to helping children build healthy relationships and strong self-esteem. We want to help your child learn how to love, express, and advocate for themselves!

Physical Therapy (Coming soon!)

Pediatric physical therapists work with children to improve their strength, mobility, coordination, and overall confidence in movement. This can include building gross motor skills, balance, endurance, and flexibility needed for everyday activities at home, school, and play. If it involves the way your child moves their body, physical therapy can help!

Physical therapy addresses three key areas of functional movement:
• Gross motor skills (walking, running, jumping, climbing, and other big movements)
• Strength & coordination (how muscles work together to support posture and controlled movement)
• Functional participation (engagement in meaningful routines like playing on the playground or moving through the school day)

Movement is essential for exploration, independence, and self-confidence. We want to help your child feel strong in their body, excited to move, and capable of joining in all the fun!

Sounds great but… how does this work?

Step 1: Schedule a Call

Before we do anything, let’s talk.

Our admin assistant, Destinee, will schedule a call with you so we can figure out the best way to support you in your situation. She’ll talk about the services we offer and hear more about your needs. You’ll be able to ask any questions as well.

If we discover that other services might better support you, we’ll do our best to connect you with helpful resources in our community. If we can support you, we’ll schedule an evaluation.

Step 2: Parent Consultation

Before we begin services, let’s make sure you feel confident and informed.

You’ll meet with Destinee, our admin, for a parent consultation to walk through what to expect. She’ll review our policies and procedures, help you complete any necessary paperwork, and discuss payment options. This is also your time to ask questions and make sure everything feels clear moving forward.

We want you to feel prepared and supported from the very first step.

If it’s a good fit, we’ll move forward with scheduling your child’s evaluation.

Step 3: Initial Evaluation

Now we complete an initial evaluation.

You and your child will come to our Clothed in Compassion office for an initial evaluation. At this evaluation, our trained therapists will do a series of necessary assessments according to the needs we discussed in our phone conversation and parent consultation. This is an opportunity for your child to interact with our therapists and for you to see the space your child will be learning and growing in.

During this evaluation step, you will also be able to ask any additional questions about sessions, payment plans, or whatever is on your mind regarding your child’s care. When you’re ready, we’ll organize your payment plan and schedule your first session.

Step 4: Begin Sessions

Then we work together to meet your goals!

Sessions generally happen once a week on an ongoing basis—as long as care is needed, we will do our best to support you and your child. At each session, your therapist(s) and your child will do activities and exercises to help your child function to the best of their ability.

These first sessions may be difficult as your child gets to know their therapist(s), along with the demands of the new routine and activities. Remember that every bit of progress is worth celebrating!

Step 5: Monitor Progress

We’ll make sure you stay informed as you go.

The staff at Clothed in Compassion are committed to consistent and honest communication. We’ll send you a reminder before each session and provide notes on your child’s progress. As your child learns and grows, our goals will change to match their progress. Every year, we’ll sit down and discuss your child’s progress, update goals, and determine what services are needed moving forward.

We’re here to help you. If you have questions about your child’s care, are confused about the activities they’re doing, your circumstances have suddenly changed in any way, or you have other concerns you need addressed—just reach out!
