SIRRI also offers Occupational Therapy services on-site. We are pleased to introduce Sheila McCormick, MS, OTR/L as our Occupational Therapist. As a pediatric occupational therapist, Sheila specializes in sensory processing disorders, is certified to administer the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), and is trained in Therapeutic Listening. Her professional career has included working with children with a variety of disabilities including Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. Sheila has presented locally on the topic of sensory processing disorders and has presented at the state and national level in the area of assistive technology and pediatrics. With a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy from the Arizona School of Health Sciences, both SIRRI and Sheila are excited to be working together to provide a multi-sensory treatment approach to improve function and increase independent skills in all areas to our pediatric clients.
The Occupational Therapy clinic includes a climbing wall, a vibrating sensory ballpool, a vibroacoustic lighted tunnel and vestibular equipment to address the many aspects of sensory integration and processing skills, including sensory awareness; visual spatial awareness; body integration; balance; fine, gross and bilateral motor coordination; visual-motor integration; praxis; muscle and joint integrity; self-care skills; and handwriting skills.
Children who may benefit from Occupational Therapy include those with neurological and/or developmental disabilities, those recovering from an injury or neurological disease, or any individual adapting to new restrictions in lifestyle (i.e. after major surgery, etc.)
The Occupational Therapy services may be utilized individually, or as part of a comprehensive program including the Sensory Learning Program and/or the various cognitive retraining programs in our Learning Center.
