Getting started
- In order to provide the highest quality treatment for you, Springboard Therapy has created this procedure:
- Initial inquiry – When you email or call Springboard Therapy, someone will get back to you to set up an initial intake that will occur over the phone.
- Initial intake – up to 30 minutes – an occupational therapist will contact you at your pre-arranged time to discuss your concerns and give you the opportunity to decide if an evaluation is appropriate.
- Evaluation – 2-6 hours – Depending on the needs of each child, we will assess all or part of the following areas:
- Sensory processing and integration
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Praxis and motor planning
- Coordination (eye-hand and whole body)
- Visual perceptual and visual motor development
- Handwriting
- Postural skills
- Our evaluations are customized to your child and may include standardized testing for sensory integration (SIPT), gross and fine motor skills, postural skills, visual perceptual and visual motor skills, as well as a variety of non-standardized tools that will give us information regarding your child's level of functioning and skills.
- Evaluations are scheduled for weekday mornings and require 2-6 hours to complete over 1 or 2 days.
- Conference – 1 hour – Within 2-4 weeks after your initial evaluation date, you will meet with your evaluating therapist. You will be given your written evaluation, have the opportunity to go over it with the evaluating therapist and ask questions regarding your child's results.
Recommendations for therapy and/or related professionals may be made. If therapy is recommended for your child, a collaborative treatment plan with your input will be created as well as suggestions for assisting your child at home and at school.
- Therapy – Springboard Therapy provides individual therapy services all year and intensive therapy services in the summer for our clients. Consultation services are also available.
