Our Occupational Therapy services include two full-time occupational therapists, Maddie Nitsch, OTR/L, LAT, ATC and Sarah Russell, OTR/L. Occupational therapists work with people to help them achieve independence in activities of daily living throughout one's lifespan from pediatrics to geriatrics. Treatments include home safety and work site evaluation, training and education in self-care and home management, adaptive equipment and assistive technology recommendations, as well as treatment of hand and upper extremity injuries including custom splintering. We also provide pediatric services through our school-based program and outpatient rehabilitation.
