Individual occupational therapy sessions are offered by licensed Occupational Therapists. Occupational therapy helps children build the skills they need to engage more fully in everyday life, including emotional regulation, sensory processing, motor development, play, self-help skills, feeding, and meaningful participation at home, school, and in the community.
At The Stewart Center, our approach is individualized, relationship-based, and collaborative. For Westview students, therapy can stay closely connected to the school environment, creating opportunities for communication between therapists, teachers, and families to support consistency and carryover across settings.
Session Offerings
Individual Sessions (Sessions are $135 per hour and $67.50 for 30 minutes.)
One-on-one sessions are tailored to each child’s individual needs and may focus on sensory processing, regulation, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, feeding, self-help skills, and therapeutic play.
For Westview students, services may be provided during the school day as a pull-out service or after school.
Occupational Therapy Assessments
Occupational therapy assessments are available to better understand a child’s strengths, challenges, and functional needs. Assessments may include parent interviews, caregiver questionnaires, clinical observation, and standardized or informal measures. Following the assessment, families receive individualized recommendations, goal areas, and referrals when needed.
