Under the direct supervision of licensed occupational therapists, second-year OT students provide evaluations and interventions for participating children in the Pediatric Teaching Clinic at Puget Sound. Children can be self-referred to the clinic by parents or guardians, or with parent/guardian permission, by teachers, pediatricians, or community therapists. Reasons for participating in the teaching clinic can include needs 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.
Sessions are scheduled Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from February through April, with sessions 45 minutes in length. A parent or legal guardian must attend the first session; families are responsible for arranging their own transportation.
