Practice Area: We cover southern Arizona for our school-based OT practice, including charter schools and private schools.

 

Specialty: We specialize in classroom intervention and provide both whole class and whole school training/presentations on a variety of topics.

 

Philosophy: Our philosophy is "A Global Approach to OT in the Schools".

 

Emphasis: We have a strong emphasis on developing ocular motor skills needed to access the language arts curriculum in our schools. We work with visual tracking/pursuits and visual attention skills of our students, in addition to visual-motor and visual-perceptual skills. We have a lot of experience in working with students with poor self-concept who have not been successful at school. We do a lot of OT/teacher collaboration to develop classroom strategies for students.

 

Program Approach: We use the "Bal-A-Vis-X" program and also the "Handwriting Without Tears" program with our students. We support moving to enhance learning and also use calming and altering strategies with teachers.
