Physical & Occupational Therapy

School  based occupational and physical therapists collaborate with parents and educational staff to help implement each student’s Individualized Educational Program (IEP). When necessary, therapists may also partner  with other staff members to modify the child’s routine or environment to foster more independence within the educational environment.
