Help us celebrate OT Month!
April Honors Occupational Therapists. Here at Pediatric Therapy Partners, we have
an amazing group of OTs that work to improve a child's physical development,
social and emotional development, cognition, and sensory processing skills to
assist the child to maximize their functional potential in all areas of daily
living.
Our therapist have certifications or extensive training in many different
areas including Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to feeding (SOS Program);
Torticollis; Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT); Handwriting Without Tears;
Beckman Massage for oral motor deficits and feeding issues; and assistive
technology/adaptive equipment.
Are
meal times frustrating? OTs can introduce feeding therapy to help identify
specific concerns and improve feeding skills.
Is
your child oversensitive to sound or often bumping into objects or other
people? Do they have a hard time “keeping still”? Sensory Integration therapy can address these
areas and concerns and at PTP we have one of the regions only SIPT (Sensory
Integration and Praxis Test) certified therapists. Therapeutic Listening is another treatment
tool we can use to address concerns in these areas.
If
your child is struggling with day-to-day interactions and overall social
skills, Social Group can be a great way to address some of these issues. Turn
taking, self-awareness, communication, safety, following directions,
boundaries, and expressions of wants and needs are some the things we address
in this group.
The
OTs at PTP play a vital role in the treatment of many different conditions and
do so in many different ways. If you would like
