Occupational Therapy in Rockville & Montgomery County, Maryland

Montgomery County has a strong set of pediatric OT providers across Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, and Silver Spring, several with a sensory-integration focus.

Many clinics offer sensory-integration-focused OT and combine OT with speech therapy under one roof. Some families also consider DC-area providers given the county's location — confirm network status for your Maryland plan first.

How it's funded. Maryland Medicaid covers medically necessary occupational therapy for children, and state-regulated insurance plans cover it under the habilitative-services provisions of Maryland's mandate (federal and self-funded plans may differ — check yours). For children under 3, OT is available free through the Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers Program, and for school-age children, OT can be part of an MCPS IEP when it affects educational access (school-based OT focuses on educational participation, which is narrower than clinic-based OT). Wait times vary, so contact several clinics.
