The occupational therapist visits pupils at the school 3 days per week. At present he has 7 pupils on his case list.
His treatment room is in the resource centre and we observed most of them being treated today. The treatments include massage, muscle stimulation, manipulation and using a variety of equipment to encourage the development of fine motor skills.
When Dennis came to the school he could neither walk nor talk. He can do both now although he is still rather unsteady on his feet.
After Noah received treatment from Daughlas, he exhibited his counting skills with wooden numbers, and his expertise with threading a lace.
Best of all they both always appear to be happy.
At the of the session Daughlas promised to provide us with a list of equipment that would benefit the department.
Incidentally, there was much needed torrential rain for half an hour this afternoon.
