What is Mental Health Occupational Therapy in a Pediatric Setting?

Mental health occupational therapy in a pediatric setting focuses on supporting children’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being through therapeutic activities. Mental health occupational therapy for children involves assessing their emotional and social needs and using engaging activities like play and art to enhance skills such as emotional regulation and problem-solving. OTs collaborate with families and other professionals to create personalized support plans that help children manage stress, improve social interactions, and build resilience.

Do you accept insurance ?

Kaliyah Burris, OTR/L is an out-of-network provider. As an out-of-network provider, she does NOT work directly with insurance companies. You are encouraged to inquire with your insurance company to determine out-of-network coverage, including whether preauthorization is necessary, the number of sessions allowed, and the amount of reimbursement, based on your individual policy. If you are interested in seeking private occupational therapy services please contact Kaliyah Burris.

Can you submit for reimbursement for yoga classes?

Not typically. Although the yoga classes run by Kaliyah are therapeutic and have evidenced based focus and background from an OT lens, they are not individualized occupational therapy treatment sessions and are not being billed with a CPT code. If you are a current client, and have already undergone a formal occupational therapy evaluation with Spectacular Kids Occupational Therapy within the year, you are more than welcome to contact your insurance provider and ask if a group yoga intervention provided by Kaliyah Burris, OTR/L would be covered. All plans and providers differ in what they will cover.
