Gaming perspective from stakeholders of occupational therapy has been an area of study among researchers for quite some time. According to a literature review, there are gaps in research related to occupational therapy treatment in rural locations. Understanding parents’ perspectives may lead to a greater understanding of a practice area for improved delivery of occupational therapy services. This pilot qualitative study examines parents’ experiences with children receiving occupational therapy services in rural locations. Interviews were completed with the participants to develop themes to answer the research questions using a phenomenological approach. The social constructivism frame of reference was used to explore the parents’ experiences and determine barriers to living in a rural area. The results of the interviews were analyzed and developed into themes to understand the parent’s perspectives. Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants may benefit from the study results and progress in their service delivery of therapy in rural areas.
