School Based Pediatric Therapy

Our Physical and Occupational Therapists work with your child in the comfort of their regular school setting to address skill issues that may interfere with their educational performance. Some of these areas include hand function, oral motor function, visual motor and perceptual skills, sensory awareness/processing, self-care, pre-vocational tasks, physical navigation of the school setting, including physical education class and playground environment. Qualifying students range between the ages 3 to 21 and demonstrate an area of difficulty, which impacts their ability to function in their school environment.
