As there can be an extensive wait at times for D.O.T.S. OT services, we are working on ways to better support our waitlist clients and reduce wait times. Would you be open to the following?

I would be open to a block of OT for 5-10 hours to achieve a home program or similar knowing my child would then be placed back on the waitlist for an ongoing OTI would find parenting education sessions provided at a discounted rate for waitlist families helpful in order to help me learn about specific topics such as sleep, feeding, handwriting and other ideas I could use at home to helpful to work with my child.I have some other ideas on how D.O.T.S. can better support waitlist families listed below
Ideas for D.O.T.S. to better support me and other families on the waitlist while waiting for OT services include...
Do you need a specific assessment?
