Frequently Asked Questions

During the first appointment, we will gather information about your current health, treatments, symptoms, functional status, income sources (EI Sick, Short Term Disability, etc.) education and employment history. Together we will identify which area of your life we should target first. Often we will begin with work/school as there may be more at stake but we don’t ignore home and personal life!

We may also use standardized measures or screening tools to better understand your symptoms.

Yes - for ergonomic assessments we will meet you at your home or office and spend an hour going through all aspects of your workstation.

Throughout the year we also offer specialty groups for Adults. These are often a combination of in person sessions and virtual sessions.

All virtual appointments take place through a secure video conferencing platform, called Jane.

Absolutely! There are many delays in the current healthcare system if you are looking for a formal assessment and diagnosis. At Davis OT we believe that there are actions that you can take immediately if you are struggling with a certain aspect of your life. We do not need a physician referral or diagnosis to start putting together a plan and trying out some new strategies. So don’t delay - book a discovery call today to find the right therapist.

Most extended health insurance plans provide coverage for OT and SW services. If services are not covered, clients are encouraged to contact their insurance company to see if these services will soon be covered or if you can switch it with another service that you don’t use.
