Clinical Excellence

The OTC offers a long history of diagnostic and therapeutic services along with consultations for children ages birth through adolescence. We were the first to bring the Sensory Integration approach to children in southwest Texas. The staff of the OTC has over 30 years of experience in occupational therapy with children utilizing the Sensory Integration approach and was involved in the development of the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests under the direction of Dr. Jean Ayres in 1980. Our therapists continually attend seminars to stay in the forefront of this advanced specialization area. In addition, they often are requested to lecture all over the country. We evaluate and treat children from all over the world.

 

In 2002, the OTC, Inc was awarded the prestigious CLINICAL EXCELLENCE award by Texas Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. which is rarely given to non-research facilities.
