OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability—occupational therapists address motor, visual-perceptive, cognitive, and sensory-processing skills. Pediatric occupational therapy treatment helps children be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives.

Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective that enhances a child’s self-esteem and sense of accomplishment by addressing motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, cognitive skills, and sensory integration deficits. OT also includes adapting the environment and task to fit the person's skills and abilities.

INTENSIVES

Intensive therapy programs are developed around each child's and family's unique needs and strengths. After a thorough evaluation, specific functional and measurable goals are established at the beginning of each intensive and used to develop a plan. Intensives occur more often than regular therapy and may or may not combine occupational therapy and physical therapy. Pediatric intensives are available for current patients and patients who live out of state.

Elements of modified constraint-induced movement therapy bimanual intensive training are used when appropriate.

Camp Kid Power integrates individual functional goals determined by each camper and family into the daily camp schedule.
