As occupational
therapists, we are most interested in helping those people who have difficulties
with learning, sensory processing, social difficulties and other difficulties
that impede doing or learning daily life skills. We do not claim that this
type of therapy is a "cure" of any medical difficulties.
We have seen that it has
helped many children and adults with a variety of difficulties that impair their
ability to live their lives to the fullest. This is an intensive program
involving evaluation, a first loop of 15 clinic sessions scheduled for 2 hours a
day, a second loop for 8 days, and a third loop for 8 days.
