* Down’s Syndrome

Many of the children we assess come to our clinic for 1:1 treatment or for a small group experience. Treatment is usually 1-2 times a week depending on your child’s needs. Treatment is typically a 50 minute session. Some parents stay in the treatment room with their child, many do not as they find their child does better without them. Our therapists are always available for consultation with parents and give feedback, and home activity suggestions after each session. Some parents request additional consultation and set up an appointment with the OT to go over specific topics.

We strive to meet each families needs so some
children are seen on a bi-weekly schedule.

Areas of treatment can include:

We also provide contractual services to school districts to fulfill IEP agreements that involve educational Occupational Therapy – consultation, evaluation, treatment along with in-service education for school personnel.
