Houston landmarks and everyday family life
Houston family life naturally lends itself to occupational-therapy goals. A morning at Hermann Park or Buffalo Bayou Park is really an opportunity to practice climbing, balancing, and coordinating both sides of the body. A trip to Children’s Museum Houston or the Houston Zoo builds sensory tolerance, attention, and social turn-taking. Even a hot summer afternoon at Discovery Green’s splash area becomes a chance to regulate the sensory system and move with purpose. Occupational therapy simply helps children access more of these everyday adventures with confidence.
In-home care makes the connection even stronger. When a therapist works within your Houston home, goals are built around your family’s real routines, from morning dressing to homework at the kitchen table to bedtime wind-downs, and parents get coaching they can carry into every park visit, school day, and weekend outing across the city.

In-home pediatric occupational therapy complements, rather than replaces, school-based services, and our team can coordinate with your child’s teachers and therapists to align home goals with IEP and 504 supports.

Frequently asked questions about pediatric OT in Houston
Do you offer in-home pediatric occupational therapy in Houston?
Yes. Collab Therapeutic Services provides in-home pediatric occupational therapy throughout the Greater Houston area. Our therapists come to your home, so your child receives care in the environment where they feel most comfortable and where new skills matter most.
What parts of Houston do you serve?
We serve families across Greater Houston and Harris County, including neighborhoods and communities such as The Heights, Montrose, Memorial, Bellaire, West University, Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, Cypress, and Clear Lake. If you are unsure whether your area is covered, call us at 832-232-3611 and we’ll be glad to confirm.
Do I need a physician referral to start occupational therapy in Houston?
You can schedule an evaluation without a referral. If your child has Texas Medicaid, a signed order from your child’s doctor is required for the evaluation, and therapy afterward needs prior authorization. We coordinate both with you. Some private insurance plans also require a referral, and we check this during intake.
What conditions and challenges does pediatric OT help with?
Our team supports children with developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, fine motor and handwriting difficulties, executive-function and attention needs, and school-readiness goals. We also provide evaluations and assessments to help identify how best to support your child. Care is always play-based, family-centered, and tailored to your child.

Do you accept Texas Medicaid in Houston?
Yes. Collab accepts Texas Medicaid for pediatric occupational therapy, including in-home therapy. The evaluation needs a signed order from your child’s doctor, and ongoing therapy requires prior authorization. We handle the paperwork with your child’s doctor and your plan.
