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.

March is over. Which means that school is 3/4th's of the way complete AND that it is now April. April is OT month! I feel like every year I want to do something to help make the teachers and professionals more aware of what OT is and what an OT's in the schools do. I have decided this year to go about it a little differently. I am going to try to create a handout for teachers and professionals with regards to OT and what they encounter everyday-desk height, typing on the computer, healthy habits, and where appropriate include information regarding students and OT.
