Services

Occupational Therapy specializes in the evaluation and treatment of individuals who have experienced trauma, illness or disease.

These issues can hinder your ability to participate in important daily activities as an adult (work, driving, personal care, home, community, or leisure skills) or as a child (play, development, or school).

The limitations can be due to pain, lack of coordination, poor attention, sensitivities to touch, sound, or movement, poor understanding of visual information that allows you to move or engage in activity, swelling or lack of movement in your joints or extremities, or overall weakness.

Pediatrics

Our facility is equipped to treat children with a variety of diagnoses, such as Autism, attention deficit disorder, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, and behavior disorders.

Does your child experience adverse reactions to touch, movement, vision, smell, or sound? Does s/he have difficulty writing, frequent falls, delays in development, attention, focus, or behavioral problems that limit ability to engage in school, home, and community activities?

Pacific Northwest Occupational Therapy has programs to address your child’s needs:

You can be assured your child will receive the best quality of care by highly trained professionals.

Work Programs

Prevention and injured worker rehabilitation. We are committed to establishing a working partnership with both the worker and their employer to get the injured worker back to work safely and efficiently.

Our work programs include:

• Work Conditioning Program: individually designed to address physical needs of an injured worker (exercise, safety skills, and work simulation).
• Job Analysis: on site evaluation to provide recommendations and promote safe work and hiring practices.
• Prework Screening: an objective and non-discriminatory test to accurately match the worker with the critical job requirements.
• Education & Training: instruction in body mechanics, joint protection, injury prevention and total body wellness.
