Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapy (OT) Team pushed the bar higher than ever this year

As the pandemic restrictions eased, we raced out of the gate in 2022 with wild imaginations and equal amounts of energy. In collaboration with the Animal Assistance Intervention & Education (AAIE) team, as well as the Education team, we developed and brought mini-horse yoga to students and staff

Through creativity, passion, and incredible dedication, we saw big and small wonders daily in the classroom, during vocational task learning, in self-care, and in social situations. In our clinic, our Occupational Therapists working with Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology colleagues challenged a Pre-K child to exceed his goals for mobility with his new wheelchair. He will no longer have to travel to a different county for school. His new skills and independence gained him a spot in a kindergarten right near his home – changing the trajectory of his life.

Our OT Team sees each year as 365 opportunities to improve and develop the life skills of everyone in our community
