I have worked for several years with individuals who have disabilities in both educational and therapeutic settings. My experience includes developing customized therapy programs, assisting with daily activities, and implementing corrective exercises to improve mobility and quality of life.

I use a combination of initial evaluations, observations, and feedback from interdisciplinary teams, parents, and the students themselves to assess their needs. This comprehensive approach helps me to create individualized therapy plans that address their specific challenges and goals.

I find a combination of strength training, flexibility exercises, and cognitive-behavioral techniques effective. Each technique is tailored to the individual’s needs and regularly updated based on their progress and any changes in their condition.

I attend professional workshops, subscribe to industry journals, and participate in online courses and forums. Staying connected with a network of other professionals also helps me stay informed about new research and innovative techniques.

First, I reevaluate the current therapy plan and look for areas that might need adjustment. I engage the student in setting new short-term goals and might introduce new techniques or tools to reignite their progress. Collaboration with other professionals can also provide new insights and approaches.

Effective communication is crucial. It ensures that students understand their therapy goals and how to achieve them. Regular updates and open communication with parents, caregivers, and other team members also help to provide a supportive environment, which is essential for the student’s success.
