Early Intervention Occupational Therapy and PT Handouts

Description

Calling all early intervention providers. Make life easier with this set of 15 colorful, easy-to-understand Early Intervention Occupational Therapy and PT Handouts.

Written by CathyAnn Collyer, OTR, LMT, they work equally well as individual handouts or as part of a larger packet for a family or a daycare facility.  Increase your professional visibility and show your clinical expertise with attractive handouts that offer immediately useful information!

As OT, PT, Feeding Therapy, or Speech Therapy providers, therapeutic positioning is an essential part of treating our youngest clients.  Convincing a family to do “Tummy Time”, picking the right feeding seat, teaching a caregiver to use a stroller with a special needs baby, etc:  these treatment goals can be challenging for even the experienced clinician.

All of this takes time from direct treatment.  So does e-mailing online information or writing a detailed note in a communication book. This handout packet can save you hours of time and help your families!

The 15-page PDF digital packet will be available immediately following payment!

Here are some of the ways to use the Early Intervention Occupational Therapy and PT Handouts in your clinical practice:

• Start the positioning “conversation” with parents and teachers.
• Laminate a handout for posting in daycare centers.
• Assemble a take-home packet after parent meetings.
• Optimize treatment carryover by circling important issues to address and techniques to try.
• Professional handouts demonstrate your positioning expertise in a team meeting or facility in-service.
• Add them to your department orientation for student therapists, new grads, or providers transitioning from another specialty into pediatrics.
