Occupational therapy students, under the direct supervision of licensed occupational therapists, provide evaluations and interventions for children in the Pediatric Teaching Clinic at Puget Sound. Children are referred to the clinic by their parents, teachers, pediatricians, or community therapists (with permission of parent or guardian). Reasons for referral to the clinic include difficulties in the following areas: daily living skills (self-care, dressing, eating), play skills, or cognitive, behavioral, or motor skills that interfere with participation in daily tasks. The child and family will participate in a home or school observation, initial evaluation, treatment/intervention plan, home program and discharge evaluation.
This year the pediatric clinic will run once a week from late January through April with therapy sessions lasting 50 minutes. Families are responsible for arranging transportation to the clinic.
