TypeS of Deliveries
Medical Services
Developmental Therapy Center provides medical-based therapy services in its outpatient clinic. In the medical model, our occupational, physical, or speech therapist performs evaluations and treatments after being referred by a physician. These evaluations and treatments often mimic a child’s natural play environment. Therapists look at the whole child and their ability to function in all aspects of daily life. Goals are geared toward the child’s home and community function, as opposed to their function at school; however, the interventions at school and in the clinic may go hand-in-hand. For instance, if a child needs to improve balance and strength in order to get down the stairs at their school, they will also need to improve balance and strength to climb up the stairs at home to get to their bedroom.
School-Based Services
Developmental Therapy Center provides school-based therapy using an educational model that focuses on academic performance and is governed by the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). In the educational model, children with disabilities benefit from evaluations and treatments in a setting that is in their natural environment with their peer group. This model of pediatric therapy also focuses on a multidisciplinary approach to therapy assessment, planning, and intervention. A multidisciplinary team includes, but is not limited to, the parents, teacher, special education teacher, and therapists. The team must be in agreement in order to implement an Individualized Education Plan. In order to receive therapy services at school, a child’s functional performance must be impaired to the extent that it interferes with the child’s functioning at school. Each district has strict standards for qualifying children for an Individualized Education Plan. The emphasis of treatment is on function at school, and goals are related to the educational program. The therapy intervention may be direct, indirect, or on a consultation basis.
Early Intervention Services
Developmental Therapy Center provides early intervention therapy services through the WV Birth to Three Program. The mission of WV Birth to Three is to partner with families and caregivers to build upon their strengths by offering coordination, support, and resources to enhance children’s learning and development. Early intervention services support families with children aged from birth to three years old who have, or are at risk for, disabilities. Early intervention providers include early childhood special educators, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and health professionals. These professionals work closely with families to understand and build on children’s strengths and provide services that can support the child and family. They also work in partnership with parents to help children develop their knowledge and skills to reach their potential.
