Physical & Occupational Therapy

The DePaul School for Hearing and Speech provides physical and occupational therapy services on-site. The licensed therapists each have over 15 years of experience working with deaf or 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.
