Our Relationships with our clients, parents, caregivers,
colleagues and community set us apart from other practices. We
believe that the child who enjoys coming to therapy and feels
accepted for who she/he is with regard to their strengths and
weaknesses will make the most progress. We attempt to provide a
safe and nurturing place where parents can give voice to their
concerns regarding their child’s development. Many of our
clients require other services besides occupational therapy. We
believe in an interdisciplinary model of treatment, to that end,
we develop and maintain strong relationships with our colleagues
in the community at large. We are current with regard to best
practice models and research within the field of pediatric
occupational therapy. Our clinic services reflect this knowledge
with regard to evaluations, direct services and consultation.
We are able to provide this high level of service due to our
strong belief in continuing professional development. We have
weekly staff meetings that incorporate an educational component.
Our clinicians go for professional
development training throughout the year. For parents, we have a
bulletin board in our waiting room with community services, work
shops and outreach services. We are always happy to recommend
books and journal articles for interested parents. We recognize
that many of our clients receive services besides occupational
therapy. In order to facilitate an understanding of these
disciplines and foster a team approach to treating children, we
coordinate networking and educational opportunities with our
colleagues in the professional community.
