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.
