  • Therapy sessions typically last between 30 and 45 minutes. If your child has back-to-back sessions, such as occupational therapy and speech therapy, the total appointment time is usually between 60 and 80 minutes.

  • Every child is different, so the length of therapy will vary based on their individual needs and goals. Factors such as age, diagnosis, motivation, and participation in activities at home can all affect how long therapy is needed. Our therapists will work with you to monitor your child’s progress and adjust their treatment plan as needed.

  • Absolutely! We love having families involved in therapy at Bloom Pediatric Therapy. Parents, caregivers, and siblings are welcome to participate. If siblings join a session, therapy will take place in a private room rather than the gym.

  • A screening is a free, 20-minute appointment that helps determine whether your child may benefit from a full evaluation. An evaluation is a more detailed, formal assessment that is billed to insurance. The evaluation provides specific scores and information about your child’s development, helping our therapists better understand their needs and recommend the best next steps.

  • Bloom Pediatric Therapy does its best to offer therapy sessions at your child’s daycare when possible. Please keep in mind that scheduling daycare visits may take additional time and could delay the start of therapy. We do not typically offer in-home therapy, but special circumstances can be discussed and considered on a case-by-case basis.

  • Getting started with Bloom Pediatric Therapy is easy! Simply complete our screening or intake form. Once we receive your form, a member of our scheduling team will reach out to discuss the next steps and help get your child started as soon as possible.

  • No, we do not offer free play time.
