Evaluation and Treatment Intervention

The department provides general occupational therapy evaluations as well as specialized evaluations from certified therapists. These include assistive technology evaluations, wheelchair and adaptive equipment assessments, and the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test known as the SIPT. General treatment intervention includes self-care, adaptive equipment and computer technology, static and dynamic hand splint fabrication, cognitive-perceptual training, sensory integration and neurodevelopmental treatment, handwriting intervention, and community re-entry. Our goal is to help develop the child's fullest potential to participate in meaningful life occupations such as play, self-care, and other activities in school, home, and the community.
