Students received between 7-10 sessions per week of Speech, Occupational, Physical Therapy, and Recreational Therapies, each lasting up to 45 minutes. Each student works with our Assistive Technology team, who are on the leading edge of providing equipment and/or devices that help our students improve, maintain, or increase their functional capabilities. To provide further assistance, students are assigned nursing staff, personal care attendants and a social worker for any additional support they need. 2582986 0 2532029 FOOD AND STUDENT SERVICES: Food Services' primary function is to fulfill the dietary needs of all students in the Day and Residential/Overnight Respite programs.
