Pediatric occupational therapy in Woodland Hills, practiced through play

Yes. Woodland Hills is in our home-visit area. Some weeks, a video session may be easier, so trade home for video, or back again, as often as you need.

School visits are the third option, whether your child attends a public school, a private one, a preschool, or a daycare. The paperwork starts with you: a signed consent. The school must agree as well. After that, our team handles the planning with staff, right down to the room. Woodland Hills Academy, on Burbank Boulevard, serves grades 6 to 8. A visit there would go through those same steps.

You can also ask for an office evaluation. These happen now in a private Townsgate Road office that is fully confidential, in Westlake Village. December 1, 2026, is when our clinic arrives, bringing 8 treatment rooms to 2535 Townsgate Road. A Woodland Hills child's OT evaluation at the clinic can also use one thousand square feet of soft play area.

Anything from holding a crayon to riding out a meltdown. That covers hands and handwriting, coordination, self-care like dressing and eating, and handling sensory input.

Letters that drift off the line and scissors that refuse to cut: handwriting and fine motor therapy works on both. Is noise, touch, or motion too much for your child, or never enough? Ask us about sensory integration therapy. Developmental delay therapy covers skills that are taking longer to arrive. Feeding therapy is led by OT or by speech, whichever the evaluation points to.

Sensory kits are another local resource. In October 2026, the Woodland Hills Branch Library, at 22200 Ventura Boulevard, listed them among its resources and services.

Each plan has a parent coaching piece, so ordinary moments at home turn into practice.

Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, heads OT. She is one of the two people who started Therapy Clubhouse, and her work ranges from infants and toddlers to school-age children and teens.

The city's page for Woodland Hills Recreation Center, at 5858 Shoup Avenue, lists several cultural programs. Among them are preschool, arts and crafts, music, parent-child, and science and nature.

In a 2023 post, the Council District 3 office said the Woodland Hills Rec Center opened as a brand new center in 2018. The same post said it had three new playgrounds for kids of all ages, plus indoor and outdoor basketball courts.

Climbing, swinging, and waiting your turn all take balance, planning, and patience. If one of those is a daily struggle, bring it up on the free call.

Yes. The city's page for Serrania Park, at 20726 Wells Drive, lists walking paths, a hiking trail, picnic tables, restrooms, and a children's play area. The page gives its hours as dawn to dusk, every day.

Paths and uneven ground ask the body to balance and adjust, step by step. For a child who finds that hard, OT can work on balance and coordination.

Yes. LAUSD's Region North list of early education centers includes West Valley EEC, at 6200 Winnetka Avenue in Woodland Hills. The list says its centers are open year round for ages 2 to 4, and no toilet training is required.

LAUSD's Related Services Department says it serves children with disabilities from birth to age 22. It says each student's need for related services is individual. Those services are set as part of the student's IEP, or Individualized Education Program.

Private OT can sit next to school services rather than replace them. With your written okay, we are glad to compare notes with teachers or an IEP team.

A first session can be on the calendar as early as five days after your call. Need an evaluation first? It happens within three business days, starting from the day of your free consultation.

Sessions may start while the written report is still in progress. The report has a deadline: 14 business days after the evaluation. When it recommends therapy, a therapy plan comes along. A rush evaluation is an option you can request. As of October 2026, Woodland Hills children starting OT at home or on video here have no waiting list.

See the pediatric OT evaluation in Woodland Hills for how it works.

Two ways. Insurance can work through Village, our partner, if your plan qualifies; otherwise, you can pay privately. We can walk through it together on the free call.

Village accepts TRICARE, and its list also includes PPO plans from several major insurers. Expect your plan's usual share, such as a copay or deductible, plus a fee that Village charges for each visit. Not using insurance? Then we hand you a superbill to forward to your insurer. The details are on two of our pages: insurance through Village and payment options.
