Occupational Therapy (OT)

Here at Allegro School, Occupational Therapy is designed to enhance the student's ability to fully access and be successful in the learning environment. This is accomplished by addressing all areas of development including sensory processing, postural control, gross and fine motor skills, as well as self help abilities. Our occupational therapists strive to give specialized assistance to our students and teach them how to become as productive and functionally independent as possible.
