Frequently Asked Questions

  • Occupational therapy looks at the whole picture of how a person functions in everyday life, not just one skill or challenge in isolation. We consider how thinking, emotions, sensory needs, relationships, the environment, and other factors come together to affect participation and independence.

    At Center Ring Therapy, we focus on the parts of life that matter most to you and your family, whether that’s school or work, friendships, managing emotions, trying new things, getting things done, or becoming more independent. We help you understand what’s getting in the way, identify practical changes that can help, and put those changes into practice in real life.

    Our OT perspective is especially valuable when you understand what needs to happen, but putting it into practice is where things get stuck.

    There are many parent coaching options available. As occupational therapists, we are licensed, board-regulated healthcare professionals whose work is grounded in evidence and guided by professional standards that protect your privacy and well-being. All services are HIPAA compliant.

  • We know how hard it is to watch someone you love struggle, especially when you’re unsure or there is disagreement about what to do next. You are not alone in this. We will walk alongside you every step of the way.

    We teach evidence-based strategies that help you make meaningful changes, even when the situation feels stuck. Many of these strategies focus on what you, as the parent or support partner, can do, no matter how your loved one responds. This means progress is still possible, and you are not stuck waiting for others to change. Together, we will create clear, manageable plans and support you as you put them into practice. 

    Our goal is to help you feel supported and steady as you care for your family. We will be there with you as you move forward.

The number one recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for children under 12 with ADHD is parent behavior training.
