Inside Special Care
Learn About Our Therapies
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy focuses on helping children with a physical, sensory, or cognitive disability be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives. Occupational Therapy can help children with various needs improve their cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy focuses on receptive language (or the ability to understand words spoken to you) and expressive language (or the ability to use words to express yourself). It also deals with the mechanics of producing words, such as articulation, pitch, fluency, and volume.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is often recommended to children who have experienced injuries or who have mobility problems from an illness, disease, or disability. Physical Therapy improves quality of life, increases range of motion, strength, coordination, mobility skills and balance.
Behavioral Therapy
Special Care provides on-site Behavioral Therapy to students in need. Our Behavioral Therapists use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior of children, primarily on the Autism Spectrum.
