Occupational Therapy Services
In addition to our Speech Therapy services, we are thrilled to introduce Occupational Therapy (OT) at Adora Bright Pediatric Therapy Services! Our occupational therapists (OTs) are licensed healthcare professionals with Master’s degrees in Occupational Therapy, specializing in helping children participate fully in daily activities, from school tasks to self-care, mobility, and social interactions.
What is Occupational Therapy Services?
- Occupational Therapy Services focus on helping individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. Provided by licensed occupational therapists, these services support people of all ages who face physical, cognitive, sensory, or emotional challenges. Therapy includes personalized exercises, adaptive techniques, and assistive tools to enhance independence in activities like self-care, work tasks, and social participation. It benefits individuals with conditions such as developmental delays, injuries, stroke, autism, or arthritis. By promoting functional skills and improving quality of life, occupational therapy empowers individuals to lead more independent and fulfilling lives in their everyday environments.

Occupational Therapy Assessments
The first step to starting Occupational Therapy (OT) at Adora Bright Pediatric Therapy Services is completing an assessment. We offer two types of assessments to cater to different needs: the Standard Assessment and the Comprehensive Assessment.
STANDARD ASSESSMENT
- 60-minute in-clinic assessment
- 45-minute virtual assessment feedback session
- Sensory Profile Assessment
- Growth Plan (Treatment Plan)
The Standard Assessment covers all costs associated with assessment tools, scoring, clinical analysis, and the formulation of therapy goals. This assessment provides a summary report in point-form but does not include a detailed written report.
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
- 90-minute in-clinic assessment
- 45-minute virtual assessment feedback session
- Sensory Profile Assessment
- Growth Plan (Treatment Plan)
- Comprehensive written report provided 4-6 weeks post-assessment
The Comprehensive Assessment includes additional time for a more thorough review and covers costs for detailed assessment tools, scoring, clinical analysis, and formulation of therapy goals.
Key Differences
Assessment Duration
- Comprehensive Assessment: 90 minutes, includes a full oral motor assessment and a neuromotor assessment of shoulder, core, and hip stability.
- Standard Assessment: 60 minutes, does not include these additional areas.
Additional Component:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Includes a detailed written report.

The Comprehensive Assessment provides a more holistic view of the child’s developmental needs, ensuring a tailored and comprehensive growth plan.
