Occupational Therapy

Without Piano Lessons

If your child struggles to do things that his/her same age peers are able to do with minimal difficulty, they may benefit from occupational therapy. Occupational therapy can close skill gaps.

TherapyForte’s philosophy of playing up strengths (as opposed to dwelling on deficits) promotes your child’s current skills and confidence, using them as the foundation for tackling more ambitious endeavors. Today, writing the alphabet and numbers. Tomorrow, the next great American novel.

Please schedule an evaluation with TherapyForte to determine if you are eligible for OT services or provide a prior OT assessment or evaluation.

Assessments & Evaluations

By an Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapy assessments and evaluations are designed to determine if your child can benefit from occupational therapy. If your child struggles to do things that his/her same age peers are able to do with minimal difficulty, they may benefit from occupational therapy evaluation to determine what to work on.

An OT assessment can reveal often-overlooked, useful abilities or reveal skill-blindspot that may adversely impact participation in everyday activities, well-being, health and safety.

Example: if your child has difficulty completing schoolwork and/or homework, a school-based OT evaluation may illuminate the reasons why. Addressing the weakness is important to promote your child’s academic performance and confidence in their abilities.

Normal piano lessons carried out with optimization of learning in mind. If you want your child to learn piano from a professional therapist and piano teacher that has been twiced-trained in how to teach effectively, this is an excellent choice.

For children not eligible to receive occupational therapy services as determined by OT assessments/evaluations.

No prior musical experience necessary.
