Cost guidance

An initial evaluation with an occupational therapist in Canaan averages $375. Beyond the first appointment, individual therapy sessions and specialized programs like handwriting instruction or work hardening typically carry their own pricing. Request a clear breakdown of costs upfront and ask whether your insurance covers occupational therapy services, as coverage varies by plan and diagnosis.

How to choose an occupational therapist in Canaan

• Verify the therapist's license and credentials through the Maine licensing board before booking.
• Ask about their experience with your specific condition or population (pediatric, industrial, sensory, etc.).
• Request a written treatment plan that outlines goals, frequency, and expected duration of therapy.
• Confirm whether they accept your insurance and what out-of-pocket costs you may owe.
• Discuss their approach to measuring progress and how often they'll reassess your treatment plan.
• Ask if they offer flexible scheduling and what their cancellation policy is.

Quality signals to look for

Look for occupational therapists who provide clear written estimates before treatment begins and who can explain their clinical reasoning in plain language. Verify that any practitioner you consider is properly licensed and willing to share references or outcome data. Be cautious of providers who pressure you to commit to a long package of sessions upfront, demand cash-only payment with no receipt, or have no verifiable professional presence or credentials on file.
