[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for any referrals...my 2nd grader is having difficulties and we've been advised to get OT.[/quote]

If the school is advising this, they should provide OT in the public school through an IEP.  Rules/funding for services in DC privates have recently changed from what I understand.  These kids should be getting services but aren't.

Most OTs don't accept insurance.  You submit for reimbursement to the insurance after the fact.[/quote]

Our son was in a category where he had fine & gross issues but didn't 'qualify' for an IEP -- which happens for a lot of kids (there are very specific tests with very specific metrics).  Try that route, but also be aware/worth noting that you may also have to seek some private help if they don't or won't deliver services that match your child's needs as you find would help him, or do that even while the IEP & testing process is going on, or even to supplement if the gov't services are supportive enough for what you want.  We had a teacher encourage OT help for services son couldn't get in school.

We had a good experience with Sensational Kids - but DS was younger - so not sure for 2nd grade.
