Every child develops at their own pace, but sometimes daily activities feel more challenging than expected. Occupational therapy can help when children need additional support with the skills that shape everyday life.

Your child may benefit from occupational therapy if they:

• Avoid or struggle with fine motor tasks like writing, coloring, or using scissors
• Seem unusually sensitive to sounds, textures, clothing, or movement
• Have difficulty with coordination, balance, or body awareness
• Become easily overwhelmed by transitions or changes in routine
• Struggle with self-care tasks like dressing, feeding, or brushing teeth
• Have challenges with focus, regulation, or frustration tolerance

If something in your child’s daily routines feels harder than it should, occupational therapy can help build the skills and confidence needed to participate more comfortably in everyday life.

At Clementine Pediatric Therapy, care is individualized and rooted in the understanding that development is interconnected. Therapy may focus on supporting:

Sensory Processing & Regulation
Helping children understand and respond to sensory input so they can feel calm, organized, and ready to participate.

Fine Motor & Hand Skills
Developing the strength, coordination, and control needed for writing, drawing, cutting, and everyday hand tasks.

Visual-Motor Integration
Supporting the coordination between the eyes and hands necessary for school and play activities.

Motor Planning & Coordination
Helping children learn how to plan, sequence, and carry out movements with greater ease.

Daily Living Skills
Building independence in routines such as dressing, feeding, grooming, and other everyday activities.

Clementine Pediatric Therapy is a private-pay practice and does not participate directly with insurance plans. This allows therapy sessions to be fully tailored to your child’s individual needs without the limitations often required by insurance companies.

Many families use HSA or FSA funds for services. Upon request, we can also provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Fees vary depending on the type of service provided (evaluations, therapy sessions, or consultations). A full list of fees will be shared prior to scheduling so families can make informed decisions. We are also happy to review pricing and answer any questions during the introductory call.

Therapy is designed to feel engaging, supportive, and meaningful for each child.

Sessions are play-based and relationship-centered, allowing children to build skills in a way that feels natural and motivating. Activities are thoughtfully selected to strengthen developmental foundations while helping children feel successful and confident.

Parents are an important part of the process. Throughout therapy, families receive guidance and practical strategies to support their child’s progress at home and in daily routines.

Our goal is not only skill development, but helping children feel more comfortable in their bodies, more capable in their environments, and more confident navigating the world around them.

Yes. Parent collaboration is an important part of the therapy process. We regularly share updates, strategies, and recommendations to help support your child’s progress at home and in school.

Sessions are currently offered in-home and within schools. For families located in Illinois, services are provided through teletherapy. Our flagship clinic is planned for 2026. We will discuss the setting that best supports your child during the consultation.

Private-pay therapy allows sessions to be fully tailored to your child’s individual needs, rather than being limited by insurance requirements. This means we can focus on the areas most meaningful to your child’s development, adjust goals as progress is made, and spend time collaborating with families and caregivers.

Many families also appreciate the flexibility and personalized approach that private-pay therapy provides.

For those with HSA or FSA accounts, occupational therapy services are often eligible expenses.
