What is pediatric occupational therapy?

Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children build the everyday skills they need at home, at school, and in play. These include fine motor control, self-care like dressing and feeding, sensory regulation, attention, and coordination. A licensed occupational therapist evaluates how your child handles daily tasks, finds what’s getting in the way, and builds a play-based plan to close those gaps.

At Collab Therapeutic Services, every session happens in your home or community across Greater Houston. Therapy works on your child’s real routines, like breakfast, getting dressed, homework, and bedtime, instead of simulated clinic tasks, and you learn strategies you can use between visits.

Is this your child?

Occupational therapy can help when everyday skills feel harder than they should. Many families come to us when they notice:

Struggles with handwriting, scissors, or utensils
Overwhelmed by sounds, textures, or transitions
Trouble with dressing, feeding, or toileting
Difficulty focusing or following daily routines
Delayed motor or developmental milestones
Big reactions to everyday sensory experiences

How our occupational therapy helps

We start by understanding the why behind the challenge, then build targeted, play-based sessions that grow real-world skills — and we coach your family so progress carries into daily life. Because we treat in the home and community, the skills your child builds show up where they matter most: at the dinner table, on the playground, and in the classroom.

What a typical session looks like

Sessions are built around play and daily routines. Your therapist may set up an obstacle course to build body awareness, use crafts and games to strengthen hand skills, or coach a calmer morning routine. Each visit ends with a short recap and one or two strategies for the week. Goals are measurable, reviewed regularly, and shared with your family in plain language.

Common questions

Do I need a referral to start?

No — you can reach out to us directly to begin. Some insurance plans require a physician referral for coverage, and we’ll help you sort that out during benefit verification.

Where do you provide therapy?

In your home and community across Greater Houston — including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, and The Woodlands — so skills are practiced where daily life happens.

What ages do you work with?

We serve children across developmental stages, tailoring our approach to each child. Reach out and we’ll talk through whether we’re the right fit.

How often is pediatric OT, and how long does it last?

Frequency depends on your child’s needs and goals, and it’s usually one or two sessions a week. Your therapist reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan. Some children meet their goals in a few months, while others benefit from longer support.

Does Collab accept Texas Medicaid?

Yes. Collab Therapeutic Services accepts Texas Medicaid and works with families to verify benefits, referral requirements, and any prior authorization before services begin. For Medicaid, the evaluation needs a signed order from your child’s doctor. Private pay options are also available.

What conditions does pediatric OT help with?

OT supports children with developmental delays, sensory processing differences, fine motor and handwriting challenges, feeding difficulties, attention and executive function needs, and school readiness. A diagnosis isn’t required to get an evaluation.
