Absolutely everything we do is based on how our senses detect, interpret and respond to our environment. If there is a problem, the result can be frustrating and exhausting to the child and family. |
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED!!!! Insurance is now accepted!! Why the change? I am fully aware of the state of our economy, but I do not want the children who need OT/PT/ST services to suffer. I have joined forces with GL Rehabilitation. They have an office right next to mine, as well as offices in the surrounding area. Stay tuned for enrolling your child for summer therapy so they don't lose all they have gained from OT/PT/ST during this school year. |
