Classes, groups and private therapy sessions are taught by licensed
occupational therapists. All therapists have work experience within the public
school setting and are familiar with both the clinical and the educational
environment. By understanding fine and visual motor development combined with an
awareness of the kinesthetic, tactile, proprioceptive and attentional needs of
students, the therapist can design a program to meet the individual needs of
each student.
