Maybe a teacher's note said handwriting is behind. Or maybe your child melts down every time the hand dryer roars. Pediatric occupational therapy in Agoura Hills can meet you at home. OT helps children handle the physical and sensory parts of their day, from holding a pencil and tying shoes to sitting through a noisy lunch. Each session is play with a goal, and parents learn ways to practice at home. No diagnosis or referral is needed.
Does OT come to Agoura Hills homes and schools?
Both. We visit Agoura Hills homes, and school visits need your written consent and the school's go-ahead.
For a school, preschool, or daycare, our team contacts the staff ahead of time and makes sure the room is right. Video sessions are also available. If you prefer, a private office on Townsgate Road is available for the evaluation. The clinic that opens December 1, 2026, will add a big soft play space, 1,000 square feet, for OT evaluations.
What can pediatric occupational therapy in Agoura Hills improve?
Skills for school, self-care, and play, along with how a child copes with sensory input.
Handwriting and fine motor therapy works on grip, letter formation, scissors, and buttons. Sensory integration therapy helps children who are overwhelmed by sound, touch, or movement, or who seek out a lot of it. Developmental delay therapy supports skills that are arriving late. An OT can also lead feeding therapy when that suits the child.
Request your free 15-minute consultation
Tell us what you are noticing about your child. A licensed therapist reads every message, not an assistant, and replies within one business day. The consultation is free, lasts about 15 minutes, and carries no obligation. There is no waiting list. If you would rather talk now, call (805) 702-3427.
How do I raise OT needs with Las Virgenes Unified?
If your child already receives special education, start with the case manager. The district's pupil services page says concerns about special education services go to the case manager at your child's school.
To ask for an assessment, put your concerns in a letter, then sign and date it. That is what the Ventura County SELPA, which Las Virgenes Unified belongs to, recommends. It suggests giving it to the principal or school psychologist.
If you give written consent, we can coordinate with the school team.
Is there help for Agoura Hills babies and toddlers?
Babies and toddlers in Agoura Hills can be referred to North Los Angeles County Regional Center for Early Start. Its ZIP list includes 91301.
NLACRC lists physical and motor development and adaptive skills among the areas it looks at for Early Start. If a child turns 3 within 45 days, NLACRC asks families to use its application for services from age 3 on.
We are a Tri-Counties provider, and Tri-Counties does not cover Agoura Hills, so for toddlers here we offer private OT.
How long until OT can start?
It can be a matter of days. The evaluation happens within 3 business days of the free call. As of October 2026, our OT schedule has no waiting list.
You can start sessions before the report is written, as soon as 5 days after you first call. The report comes within 14 business days of the evaluation, with a treatment plan if OT is recommended.

Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, our co-founder and OT lead, still works directly with families.
Can Agoura Hills families use insurance for OT?
You can, through Village, depending on your plan. Coverage varies, so we check yours on the free call.
Village works with TRICARE. PPO plans from several major insurers can also go through Village, which charges a fee of its own each visit. Or pay privately and file our superbill with your insurer. Read about Village insurance billing, or review all payment choices.
OT questions from Agoura Hills parents
Is handwriting help only for older kids?
No. We see children from birth, and OT can work on hand skills like holding a crayon.
Do we need a doctor's note?
No. You can contact us directly; no diagnosis or referral is required.
Will you tell me if my child does not need OT?
Yes. Therapy should end when a child no longer needs it, and we will say so plainly.
OT also visits Westlake Village, Oak Park, and Calabasas. In Agoura Hills, children can also see a speech therapist or join social skills groups nearby, and the Agoura Hills page covers the rest.
“Let your child do things for himself, even if he doesn't do it perfectly. For example, let him make his bed, button his shirt, or pour water into a cup.”
Las Virgenes Unified says the Ventura County SELPA, which it belongs to, is the second largest SELPA in California, serving more than 16,000 students with disabilities.
If daily routines feel like a battle, you deserve a plan, not more guessing. Tell us what you are seeing.
