An Occupational Therapist can help with any activity that a child must do or wants to do on a daily basis. We are the rehabilitative profession that is the most holistic in nature and we may appear to take on several roles in support of development. We help with playing, eating, socializing, dressing, sensory processing, handwriting, participating in school activities & routines, processing auditory information, follow through of instructions, regulating emotions, coping skills, sleeping, and all hygiene activities. Think of all the activities that make humans unique, that’s what we help with! A child’s primary occupation is play; it is through play that important life skills are learned and refined. Skills learned through play help to lay the foundation for the skills we will need to live independent, meaningful lives as adults. All individuals can benefit from OT!

Kennetz Kids will support children ages 0-12 in the home, school, or community setting. Please inquire if your child is older than 12. Some clients >12 years may be accepted on a case by case basis. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

No. Kennetz Kids OT does not directly bill insurance. Because of this, we do not need to get MD orders or wait for insurance providers to approve an evaluation, treatment sessions, or dictate how many therapy sessions will be permitted.

This is one of the major benefits of seeking services through a private practice. There is no wait time to begin services and all sessions will be uniquely curated to fit your goals and needs. YOU are the best advocate for your child.

Kennetz Kids does not directly bill commercial insurance companies. Kennetz Kids will provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. It is your responsibility to call and ask your insurance provider if a Superbill will be accepted for partial reimbursement. Payment for all services must be received at the time of the scheduled visit.

Kennetz Kids uses a HIPPA compliant and encrypted platform (SimplePractice) for online payment. Clients will receive a link to the patient portal via email. This link will include a credit card authorization form and a credit card will be securely kept on file for payment of services. Payment is due upon receiving services. Clients are automatically billed on the day service is received. An invoice is always provided to clients after sessions are billed and a monthly statement can also be given, upon request.

After the evaluation is administered, please allow 2 weeks for report write-up and delivery. After you review the report and approve goals, we can officially schedule therapy sessions.

Please reach out if you would like to discuss evaluation report findings, assessment results, and clinical observations. Kennetz Kids OT is more than happy to schedule a follow up to answer any questions and provide expectations, before one on one sessions begin with your child. However, please note that a follow-up is not necessary. My goal is always to ensure that you feel supported in every way.

Kennetz Kids understands that life situations may arise which may impede the ability for clients to give a 24 hour notice of cancellation (illness, family emergency, deaths, etc).

Clients must cancel 24 hours prior to visit. Clients are allowed 1 “freebie” for late cancellations only and after this will be charged $50 for cancellations <24 hours prior to session. There will be an automatic $50 billed for no call/no show. If two consecutive sessions are missed and there is no communication received from client, you will be subject to permanent removal.

It is important to practice self-care and know that therapy burnout is real. Please hear this, it is okay to cancel therapy because your family needs or wants a free day! Kennetz Kids clients work hard, but they play harder!

If sessions are cancelled with >24 hours notice and pending schedule availability, the OT will happily reschedule your visit.

45 minutes total, the end of the session will be used to review session activities and provide the caregiver with strategies for carryover.

My 45 minute treatment sessions allot for the final 10-15 minutes to be spent educating the caregiver on carryover strategies and session takeaways. Many times, inquiries from caregivers and education will require more than 10-15 minutes. If this is the case, pending the therapist’s schedule, the family has the opportunity to schedule a separate session with the OT to further ask questions and receive education. This session can be in person or virtual (phone call or video call) and the child can be present, but this is not necessary. The family also has the option to use a scheduled session to receive education from the therapist instead of the child receiving direct OT care for that day. These sessions are a minimum of 30 minutes/$50.00. The client will be billed $25.00 for each additional 1-15 minutes. In other words, $75 for 31-45 minutes, $100 for 46 min-1 hr. Please reach out with any further questions.

Evaluations and re-evaluations are usually an hour long. Complex cases may require an evaluation to be divided into 2 parts or last for 1.5 hours. The OT will go with your child’s lead and there is no need to stress and have anything set up. The purpose of the evaluation is to observe the child in the natural environment and gain better understanding of strengths and areas in need of support.

This will depend on several factors, such as: complexity of medical/psychological/emotional factors, caregiver compliance and carryover, attendance, etc.

The OT will prioritize and maintain constant collaboration with the family to ensure progress is satisfactory and modifications to treatment plan will be made as needed.

This will largely depend on family needs and the evaluation results. Frequency will be established following the evaluation. The most common frequency given is 1x/week. This will vary from child to child. Not all children need weekly therapy.

My 45 minute treatment sessions allot for the final 10-15 minutes to be spent educating the caregiver on carryover strategies and session takeaways. Education commonly occurs in “verbal” or “in person” format if the session takes place in the client’s home (sometimes at school if teachers have time to collaborate). Education happens in written format if the client is seen in school, with a treatment summary slip that is sent home for families to review and message with any questions through the client portal.
