The power of what's possible

Progressus Therapy Early Intervention program is designed to enhance development of at-risk infants and toddlers

 

 

The Progressus Therapy Early Intervention (EI) program is designed to enhance the development of at-risk infants and toddlers (birth to three). Our EI program is built upon three principles: excellent teamwork, a broad range of enriching services and family support, and skillful comprehensive evaluations. Our program provides enriching occupational, speech-language and physical therapy services for children who are at-risk or have developmental disabilities. Our EI team collaborates with clinicians, early childhood educators, EI specialists, behavioral specialists, nurses, social workers, parents, and caretakers. We focus on developing and building critical skill areas such as: speech-language, fine and gross motor skills, visual motor, perceptual motor, effective environmental adaptation, and functional living skills.

Progressus clinicians provide education, training and support for the family. At Progressus Therapy, we value our dedicated clinicians, who demonstrate their commitment to improving the lives of children everyday. Local clinical coordinators support their efforts by providing guidance and support, allowing our OTs, SLPs and PTs, to grow and develop professionally. Our clinicians meet regularly as a team, receive continuing education, and participate in training courses. Our clinicians demonstrate a broad range of professional skills by providing assessments, written evaluations, treatments, daily notes, progress reports, consultations, and parent training, and education.

In my September blog, I shared some of my favorite books for school-based physical therapists, and I promised a second part to that in October. But, because it was National PT Month, I took a brief hiatus from discussing books in October. Now, here are some of my recommendations for favorite books for school-based occupational and physical therapists:
