How do I get started with pediatric therapy for my child?
Call Saguaro Sprouts at 520-477-1838 and schedule an appointment for an initial evaluation. Evaluations are available now.
What should I expect from the evaluation?
The initial assessment lasts about an hour. We request that caregivers are present at the beginning of the evaluation to discuss current concerns with their child's development. Following the evaluation, the therapist will review your child's medical and developmental history, score standardized portions of the assessment, review and interpret clinical observations and complete a comprehensive report, with recommendations and a plan of treatment with goals developed (if ongoing services are recommended). The report will be given to you and a copy will be provided to your child's pediatrician. It usually takes 5-10 business days for the full completion of the written report.
What do the therapy sessions look like?
After receiving the recommendations for treatment from the therapist, you are ready to schedule for regular weekly sessions! We will do our best to accommodate your scheduling needs.
Please arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled session with your child dressed in comfortable, casual clothing that are suitable to play in and get a little messy!
Our OT Therapy sessions are typically 1 hour in length with the last few minutes of the session for parent education, brief discussion of performance/progress, and note written for each session.
