What types of therapy do children receive at the MTU?

Answer: 

Children will receive either active or monitor level of therapy services at the MTU. A child on active therapy receives therapy services one time per month or more. A child receiving active therapy must make continuing measurable progress towards his or her functional goals. The child on active therapy will be reassessed every six months in the Medical Therapy Clinic (MTC) by a CCS physician who will oversee the therapy treatment plan and monitor the child’s progress.

A child on a monitor level of therapy means the child is receiving therapy services less than one time per month. This level of therapy includes monitoring of the child’s equipment and bracing and his or her home exercise program.
