Tom Hansen, Teri Gage

Occupational and physical therapists (0T/PT) provide specialized individual and small group instruction for students enrolled in regular and special education. OT/PT services facilitate the development of normal motor learning and remediate deficits or disabilities exhibited by students to enable them to maximize the benefit from their educational program. Students eligible for therapy services include those with disabling conditions such as cerebral palsy, myelodysplasia, perceptual and neurological disabilities, orthopedic involvement, muscular dystrophy and traumatic brain damage. Services provided by the therapy staff include: 

  • gross motor, fine motor and perceptual assessments
  • development of intervention programs
  • direct therapy services 
  • consultation for teacher(s), support staff, parent(s) and student(s)
