The question being asked is… Do you really need this expensive & fancy equipment for occupational therapy? Come on, Emily.
Actually, you don’t. Traditional occupational therapy is a wonderful therapeutic intervention that changes lives & will continue to change lives.
Yet, what is going on currently is a nationwide movement in the realm of occupational therapy that is utilizing integrative whole child approaches with advanced technology. Our journey started out of the education of OTEIM.
In our world, as pediatric occupational therapists we are discovering that it is becoming harder to help children who are dealing with Neuro inflammation, PANS/PANDAS, Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and Down Syndrome.
Due to this, there are occupational therapists that have been pioneering the utilization of these modalities that are seen above.
What these modalities do is often help children get to their goals faster. And in many cases, the utilization of these modalities allow the brain & body to heal and work better so they can actually achieve progress.
By no means am I saying that if a child went through traditional therapy services that they wouldn’t meet those goals.
But we also can’t say in confidence that if a child who is struggling with mitochondria inefficiency, neural inflammation, and overall brain/ body dysfunction that traditional therapies would derive the same results.
As a team of occupational therapists that are deep physical agent modality certified we see the life changing results daily. Whether it’s in our weekly Therapy Plus model or one of our NeuroIntensives.
