💙 Steps to Getting Therapy for Your Child
Step 5: Understanding Your Child’s Evaluation & Services

After your child completes their evaluation, the next step is learning which services they qualify for and what those services mean.
Depending on your child’s needs, they may be evaluated for one or more of the following services:

🌱 Developmental Therapy
Developmental therapy supports infants and young children who may have delays in areas such as physical development, thinking and learning, communication, social-emotional skills, and overall development. Therapy is designed to help children learn and grow through everyday activities and routines.

🗣️ Speech Therapy
Speech therapy helps children with communication, language, speech sounds, feeding, and swallowing difficulties. A Speech-Language Pathologist evaluates your child’s individual needs and helps them build the skills needed to communicate successfully.

🏃 Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps children improve motor skills, strength, balance, coordination, mobility, and movement. Physical therapy can help children become more confident and independent in their everyday activities.

🧩 Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children develop the physical, cognitive, sensory, and fine motor skills needed for everyday life. This may include skills such as playing, dressing, feeding, handwriting, and other daily activities.

📋 Understanding Your Child’s Results
Your evaluating therapist should review your child’s evaluation results and scores with you and explain their recommendations. This is a great time to ask questions and make sure you understand your child’s strengths, areas of need, and recommended services.
You are an important part of your child’s therapy team! 💜
Parents and caregivers can be involved in developing therapy goals and understanding what their child is working toward. Practicing recommended activities and goals at home can also help your child continue building skills outside of therapy.
✨ Remember: Therapy is a team effort! When families and therapists work together, children have even more opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

Steps to Getting Therapy for Your Child

Step 1: Get a Referral & Prescription
Wondering where to start if you think your child may benefit from therapy? Start with your child’s doctor! 💙
Before therapy services can begin, your child’s primary care physician (P*P) or attending physician must refer them for an evaluation and provide a written prescription for the recommended therapy services.

Here’s what to do:
👩‍⚕️ 1. Schedule a doctor’s visit�Talk with your child’s pediatrician or P*P about your concerns. Let them know what you’re noticing with your child’s development, movement, communication, daily activities, or other areas.
📝 2. Request a therapy evaluation�Ask your doctor about having your child evaluated for occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, or developmental therapy, depending on your concerns.
📋 3. Complete the required forms�If your child has Arkansas Medicaid, your doctor may need to complete and sign the required prescription and referral forms.
🤝 4. Partner with a pediatric therapy clinic�Once you’ve started the process, your therapy clinic can often help coordinate with your doctor’s office to obtain the necessary prescription and referral.
💡 Remember: A referral for therapy is the first step. Your child will then need a comprehensive evaluation in the area of concern to determine whether therapy is medically necessary and what services may be appropriate.

At Pediatric Therapy, Inc., we’re here to help make the process easier for you and your family!

As summer winds down, many families start preparing for the back-to-school season. Back-to-school is a time full of excitement, change, and often a few nerves. Here are some tips to help your child transition back to school feeling prepared and supported.

1. Start a Consistent Routine Early
Children thrive on predictability. Begin waking up, eating, and going to bed at school-time hours at least 1-2 weeks before school starts. Routines ease transitions and reduce stress.

2. Encourage Independence with Daily Tasks
Practice putting on backpacks, managing zippers and buttons, and opening lunch containers. These life skills build confidence and reduce frustration during the school day.

3. Prepare for Transitions
If transitions are tough for your child, try practicing school scenarios or using social stories to make new routines feel more predictable.

4. Practice Social Communication
Practice situations like asking for help, taking turns, or joining a group at recess. If your child is shy or has difficulties navigating social scenarios, even simple scripts like “Can I play?” can go a long way in building confidence in your child when meeting new friends.

5. Expand School-Related Vocabulary
Introduce words they might hear at school such as, “schedule”, “assembly”, “cafeteria”, “recess” and model how to use them in real-life context.

6. Model Self-Advocacy Phrases
Modeling language like, “I need help”, “Where do I go?”, or “I feel upset” can help your child feel more confident advocating for themselves at school.

7. Practice “Lunchbox Dress Rehearsals”
Let your child practice eating from their actual lunchbox at home. This includes using the same containers, utensils, and even napkins they’ll use at school. This also gives you the opportunity to see which containers, if any, are difficult for your child to open/close, giving you time to practice before school officially starts!

8. Support Mealtime Independence
Make sure your child can open packages, peel fruit, and manage any thermos or container you plan to send. These little skills matter a lot in the lunchroom!

We wish you all a happy and safe school year!
