Clinical & support: Physical & occupational therapy

The DePaul School for Hearing and Speech provides physical and occupational therapy services on-site. The licensed therapists each have over ten years of experience working with deaf and hard of hearing students in an auditory oral environment.

• The therapists provide screenings, evaluations, and direct treatment in the following areas:
  • sensory processing
  • gross and fine motor performance
  • self-care activities
  • visual and perceptual skills
  • handwriting
• Preschool children participate in group sensory motor activities that address specific developmental fine and gross motor skills.
• Classroom consultation enhances the development of specific skills and make appropriate adaptations to improve classroom performance and foster independence.

At DePaul, we believe that physical and occupational therapy are part of a holistic approach that enables every child to fully benefit from the educational program.
