Answer:
Each child starts with an initial physical and/or occupational therapy evaluation to determine the type and frequency of therapy the child will need. The physical therapist (PT) focuses on the large movements of the body, such as rolling, crawling and walking. The occupational therapist (OT) concentrates on fine muscle movements required in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) such as grooming, bathing, or feeding. The CCS therapist(s) then work with the parent to develop a treatment plan, including a home exercise program, which meets the needs of the child and family and the requirements of the CCS program. Therapist(s) monitor the child for the progress of their physical development over time. The frequency and specifics of treatment activities depend upon identification of achievable functional goals by the rehabilitation team.
