Occupational & Physical Therapy

We all deserve to develop into our best selves.

Occupational and Physical therapists endeavor to increase a student’s ability to access his educational curriculum as fully as possible by identifying adaptations or solutions to gross motor, fine motor, self-care, visual motor, visual perceptual, sensory processing, or motor coordination barriers in the educational setting.
