(This outline is subject to slight changes )
We know that we need to look at the WHOLE child and consider areas that may have been overlooked or addressed less frequently in the past; the vestibular system, visual system, social/emotional (anxiety) impacts, breathing and more. In addition, we are re-thinking and updating those areas we regularly address with children such as fine/gross motor skills and sensory processing and evaluations.
We look forward to sharing this new knowledge and the excitement of being a school-based therapist as we emerge from this time of COVID with a renewed commitment to and enthusiasm for the children we support.
