Occupational therapy helps children build the skills they need to participate in everyday life—like playing, learning, getting dressed, eating, or managing big emotions. At COAST SF, we use play-based, evidence-informed approaches to support your child’s unique developmental needs and strengths.

No referral is needed. If you have concerns about your child’s motor skills, attention, sensory sensitivities, social interactions, or daily routines, you’re welcome to reach out directly. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand what your child needs—diagnosis or not.

We are a private-pay clinic and do not bill insurance directly. However, we provide superbills with all the necessary codes for you to submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. We’re happy to guide you through this process.

We specialize in working with children ages 2 to 14. Whether your toddler is struggling with transitions or your school-aged child needs support with handwriting, attention, or emotional regulation—we’re here to help.

The evaluation includes standardized assessments, playful activities, and observations that help us understand your child’s sensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional development. Afterward, we meet with you to review our findings and create a tailored therapy plan.

Every child is different. Some need just a short period of support, while others benefit from longer-term care. We monitor progress closely, share updates regularly, and collaborate with you to ensure therapy remains meaningful, effective, and appropriate.
