Occupational Therapy

Homeschooling allows you, as the parent, to create a school environment and educational approach that is uniquely customized to the needs of your child. But sometimes meeting these unique needs can be challenging.

If your student is struggling in the homeschool environment, our occupational therapy services may be able to help by addressing the unique needs of your student. Our occupational therapist collaborates with families to address fundamental underlying concerns limiting educational progress such as developing necessary physical skills, learning cognitive strategies, or modifying the home setup to optimize learning. Occupational therapy services are private pay, meaning you—not your insurance company—are in control of the scope and frequency of therapy services.

In addition to occupational therapy training and experience, our therapist also has the unique perspective of being both a homeschool graduate and a homeschool parent, uniquely equipping her to see things from both you and your student’s perspectives when collaborating with you both to develop solutions to your schooling needs.

Occupational Therapy Services are provided via New River Valley Rehab Services, PLLC.
