State certified and licensed staff provide the following services:
Physical therapy promotes each child’s special strengths by improving their functional skills in mobility, posture and movement transitions within the school environment. The use of specialized adaptive and assistive technology—including gait trainers, powered wheelchairs, orthotics and walkers—helps each child progress to their full potential. Through a prestigious Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation Quality of Life Grant, HollyDELL, Inc. acquired the Lite Gait® and GaitKeeper® mobility devices. These unique partial weight-bearing supported walking systems allow students to learn to stand and walk upright with the proper patterns of walking. In addition, a state-of-the-art playground area allows students to experience the joy of outdoor recreation
with friends and classmates during the school day.
All students have the need to communicate and share thoughts with others. Our
Speech/Language Specialists work with students in the areas of oral stimulation, feeding, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, sound and speech production. Receptive and expressive language skills are addressed so that communication is meaningful.
Occupations are the activities we engage in that have special meaning to us. For children, these involve learning, play and self-care. Some children have sensory or movement problems that may make it difficult to participate in these activities. Occupational therapy provides opportunities for these students to engage in activities by carefully selecting tasks to promote development of skills. Individualized adaptations to materials that the child uses are created—from simple utensils to computer access. Activities and environment are structured to provide greater opportunities for success. A sensory room with specialized equipment is utilized to promote sensory integration.
