PlayGrow OT manages 5 data types including appointments. Helps you organize, track, and share your work in 1 place for teams and solo users.

Do you take insurance?

We are a private-pay practice, which means we don't directly bill insurance. However, we provide detailed superbills that many families successfully submit to their insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. This allows us to provide more personalized care without insurance limitations.

How is private-pay different from insurance-based therapy?

With private-pay, you get faster scheduling, more 1:1 time with Cheryl, no session limits, and parent coaching included. You're not restricted by insurance company rules about frequency or duration of treatment.

Can we submit superbills for reimbursement?

After each session, we will provide you with a superbill that you can submit directly to your own insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

What's included in the evaluation?

Our 60 minute evaluation includes a comprehensive assessment, parent interview, observation of your child, and a detailed plan of care with specific goals. You'll leave with clear next steps and recommendations.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions take place in your home. This allows therapy to happen in your child's natural environment, making it easier for families to fit therapy into their routines and giving Cheryl the opportunity to provide practical strategies and modifications that work in your actual living space.

Does the occupational therapist bring her own equipment?

Yes! Cheryl brings a comprehensive kit of specialized therapy tools and equipment to each session, including sensory tools, fine motor manipulatives, adaptive equipment, and therapeutic resources. This ensures continuity of care and allows for consistent, evidence-based interventions without requiring families to purchase additional materials.

How quickly will I see improvement?

Every child progresses at their own pace, and many families notice small, meaningful changes within a few weeks of weekly sessions. We provide weekly parent updates and progress reports so you can track how things are moving. The speed of progress depends on your child's unique learning style, consistency of sessions, and how consistently you reinforce therapy strategies at home between sessions—this carryover is often what creates the most lasting gains.

How can payment be made?

Payment can be made via Zelle, Venmo, Cash, or Credit Card. Please note that credit card payments include a 3% processing fee.

Could OT Help My Child?

Everyday moments that feel exhausting can sometimes point to skills occupational therapy may help build.

Difficulty with handwriting, scissors, buttons, or utensils

Strong reactions to sounds, textures, grooming, or transitions

Limited food variety or distress around mealtimes

Trouble with dressing and daily routines

Difficulty participating confidently at school or during play

If any of these sound familiar, occupational therapy can be beneficial. A free 15-minute consult can help you figure out the next right step — no pressure, no diagnosis, just guidance.

Your Therapist

Meet Cheryl

Hi, I'm Cheryl Sadigh, MS, OTR/L — a New York State–licensed pediatric occupational therapist and the founder of PlayGrow OT. I started this practice because I believe therapy works best when it doesn't feel like therapy. Every session is built around play, because play is how children learn, and it's where they're brave enough to try hard things. My other belief? Parents aren't spectators. You'll leave every session knowing exactly what we worked on and what to try at home.

What Families Say

Stories from Nassau County families who've worked with Cheryl.

"Our son's handwriting was terrible. Cheryl worked on grip, posture, and hand strength in a way that felt like play to him. After 8 sessions he's writing legibly. That's something we never thought would happen."
