Specialized Therapy & Support

Thank you for visiting my website. At this time, I am not accepting referrals for private pay occupational therapy assessments or in-home services. If you are seeking this kind of evaluation, you are welcome to contact me. I am glad to talk through your situation and, when I can, help point you toward a provider who may be a good fit.

I continue to accept referrals for Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs), which are available to families who disagree with a school district’s evaluation. You can read more about how I approach this work here.

LOOKING AHEAD

I am turning my attention to something I have wanted to build for a long time: theater-based social skills groups for neurodivergent children and teens. This work brings together my two areas of focus, occupational therapy and theater, into a single offering. My aim is to create groups where young people grow their social and self-regulation skills through drama, play, and performance, in a setting that feels less like a clinic and more like a creative ensemble.

I am not quite ready to launch, but I am building a list of families who would like to be the first to know. If this is something you would want for your child, please reach out and I will add you to my contact list.

Warm wishes,

Mr. Josh

I customize every service to your child’s specific needs and strengths, and I’ll work closely with you to craft a personalized plan during your initial free consultation, helping you find clear paths to lasting success.
