Access Issues to Occupational Therapy for Children
August 4, 2025
Children in need of occupational therapy and their parents are facing serious challenges due to the lack of agreement between the Health Insurance Organization and private therapists. Many families have to pay out of pocket, leading to social inequalities and financial exclusion. Parents are worried about the consequences of the lack of therapy on their children's development and integration into school. The inclusion of private occupational therapists in the GHS is considered crucial for ensuring quality care for children.
