Overview
Occupational Therapy for autism in Dallas
Home- and preschool-based occupational and physical therapy is the focus at this Dallas-area practice, which reaches families in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, Park Cities, North Dallas, and East Dallas. Owner and OT Marnie Danielson pairs standardized evaluation with play-based sessions for kids from birth to age 10, working on sensory processing, motor skills, and self-regulation. The team rounds things out with parent coaching, teacher training, and one-on-one consultations so strategies carry over into everyday life at home and school.
Best for
A good fit for East Dallas-area parents of young kids who would rather do OT or PT at home or at preschool than at a clinic, whether the concern is autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, or a broader developmental delay.
Their approach
Each child is evaluated first through a mix of standardized testing and observed play, which shapes an individualized plan that gets adjusted as progress happens; the same techniques are then handed off to parents and teachers through coaching and training so they stick outside of sessions.
What to expect
Expect therapists to come to you, whether that is your home or your child's preschool, while parent coaching happens over video call; payment is out-of-pocket, and the practice sends a monthly superbill parents can file with their insurer for potential reimbursement.
