Over my 10 years in pediatric occupational therapy, I have encountered the many obstacles and restrictions imposed by insurance companies. It was so frustrating to witness children being denied services simply because they did not fit within the predetermined criteria set by insurance companies. It failed to account for the unique needs of each child and instead forces them into generalized categories, ultimately depriving many children of the support they need. My goal is to assist as many children as possible and help them tackle any challenge they may be facing, without the constant pressure of insurance regulations.

I have transitioned towards a parent coaching model that provides flexibility to cater to the unique needs of each child. Through coaching and guiding parents on developmental strategies, both parents and children can boost their confidence. This method involves the entire family as a dynamic unit and empowers parents to navigate daily challenges effectively. Thereby, transferring control from the therapist to the parents for the benefit of the entire family.
