SCHOOL BASED THERAPY

Reaching New Heights

Our approach to school-based therapy starts with our core belief that all children can learn and – just as importantly – we can develop all children to become successful learners.

It continues with a commitment – shared in partnership with educators – to do everything in our combined power to help children with special needs achieve their fullest potential from their school experience.

It is brought to life through best practices in delivering educationally-related occupational and physical therapy services, while engaging students in learning in the least restrictive environment possible.

Success is realized by putting our beliefs and commitments into the very capable hands of experienced pediatric therapists, with skills and knowledge unique to school-based practice. Our caring team of professionals has the desire and determination to improve children’s school performance, helping them overcome even the most challenging educational obstacles.

When children are given the right opportunities, combined with the ‘just right’ challenge – and placed in caring and competent hands – they will reach new heights.

Constellation Health Services is a recognized leader in school-based therapy practice and pediatric programs.

  • Motor skill development (fine, gross and visual motor skills)

  • Mobility and safety

“As a long-time employee and Director at Constellation Health Services, I have loved every minute of growing our School-Based Services division. It has been a privilege to support and watch our therapists in action. They are truly committed to integrating their services into the natural environment of the classroom, playground or cafeteria; and work collaboratively with educators, to make a real difference for students in reaching their educational goals.”
