Cincinnati Occupation Therapy Institute
Cincinnati Occupational Therapy Institute (COTI) provides occupational therapy services at The Summit Academy
Preschool. This option allows students to receive occupational therapy services during the school day on
campus either in the classroom or in an extended learning space.
How can occupational therapy help my child?
Pediatric occupational therapy services help children gain independence and promote skill development in their daily environments. Occupational therapy services at school can support skill development of fine motor skills, visual motor skills, self-regulation skills, executive functioning, and social skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play, and community environments. Sometimes children have additional needs that involve sensory processing that are best addressed in COTI’s outpatient clinic in Blue Ash.
How do I begin the process?
In order to begin the process of receiving ongoing services at The Summit Academy Preschool or at COTI’s Blue Ash clinic, you should call COTI’s office at 513-791-5688. The COTI office staff can assist you with the next steps which include intake paperwork and discussion on payment options.
Do you accept insurance? What is the cost of service?
When making your first call to COTI’s office, the staff will answer questions regarding whether or not COTI is accepting your insurance and other payment options if needed for services at COTI Blue Ash. All services at The Summit Academy Preschool are self-pay and are not able to be submitted to health insurance.
What does the intake process look like?
After your initial intake phone call, you will be sent an intake packet that asks questions about your child’s performance and general contact information. Once it is received, you will receive a follow-up phone call from COTI to review your specific payment options and scheduling information.
At Keystone Pediatric Therapy, we believe that every child has the ability to reach their highest potential. Our approach emphasizes collaboration with families, caregivers, and educational teams to ensure consistency and success across all environments.
Our personalized, collaborative model of care sets us apart. As a therapist-owned and operated practice, we are deeply invested in the children and communities we serve. We prioritize strong relationships, individualized attention, and open communication to ensure each child receives the support they need to thrive.
In addition to outpatient services, we are proud to partner with local preschools to provide on-site therapy services during the school day. This model allows children to receive support in their natural learning environment, collaborate with teachers, and minimize disruptions to the family’s daily routine.
We also encourage families to reach out to us directly for additional support, evaluations, or outpatient services as needed. Our team offers free initial phone consultations to help guide families through the process and determine the best next steps for their child.
We look forward to building a strong, collaborative relationship with The Summit Academy Preschool and supporting each student's success and development.
