| How long does a child typically need occupational therapy services? The length of time that a child needs occupational therapy services varies and depends on the child's specific problem areas. Most children show improvements within six months of intervention. A typical program of occupational therapy is one year or two years for those complicated by sensory integrative issues. Children who have severe developmental delays, complicated by a need for adaptive equipment might see a therapist over several years as they adjust to increasing complexity of environmental demands and increase their level of independence.
