We understand that it can be a difficult experience to allow an unfamiliar individual into your home to work with your children. The Therapy Center for Children strives to make that process pleasant and beneficial for both the child and the parents. We hand-pick each of our therapists and ensure that every one is specialized, professional and of good character. We also offer service coordination and family training to allow families the smoothest possible transition into services. The company is NYS Department of Health approved to provide Early Intervention services for children from birth to three years of age, and preschool services for children ages three to five in New York. We also provide services for school-aged children, which follow each child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Funding for Early Intervention services is through Suffolk County and the NYS Department of Health. The Therapy Center also provides private pay sessions for those families who do not qualify for services through the Department of Health or are seeking an alternative to these government and school district programs.

The Department of Education (ED) announced its intent to move forward with new rules that would fundamentally change how graduate students finance their education. Master’s and doctoral occupational therapy degree programs would not be classified as professional programs, but instead as graduate programs with a significantly reduced tuition cap.

Put simply, this means that future occupational therapy students would be subject to a drastically lower loan limit—putting the future of the profession at risk.

What’s next? AOTA already has spent months spearheading advocacy efforts to change the definition of professional programs. Congress can fix this—but we need your voice. Go to www.aota.org/takeaction to let Congress know that occupational therapy must be included in any definition of a professional program. Read more about the issue in our new article. https://www.aota.org/advocacy/advocacy-news/2025/federal-student-loan-limits-where-we-stand-and-what-comes-next-for-ot
