KIDZ - Pediatric Occupational Therapy Consultants strives to
provide the most effective and efficient method of service delivery
to its clients through a very client centered approach in its intervention
programs. An effective client centered practice involves a close partnership
and team oriented approach that dictates that the child and all his/her
advocates are involved in intervention. Therefore, therapists at this
center will work with the child and his/her advocates to equip, enable
and empower the client to gain the awareness, knowledge and skills
needed to help the child grasp a firm hold on the skills needed for
living. At KIDZ - Pediatric Occupational Therapy Consultants,
we believe the client is the child and all individuals that can be
the child's advocate. This definition of client dictates that we will
provide a method of service delivery that focuses on:
enablement
empowerment
advocacy
attainment
Treatment will continue to focus on attainment of skills, as this
will allow the child to learn to be self-advocates of their needs.
However, being truly client centered in practice does not and should
not stop there. At KIDZ - Pediatric Occupational Therapy Consultants,
intervention will include, not preclude, enablement and empowerment
of parents, through education, to be capable advocates for the child.
This will ensure that parents become capable, discerning and educated
advocates. Hence, effective treatment is such, a client centered
team oriented approach.
To accomplish effectiveness of this approach, parents will be involved
in every step of the intervention process and education will be
of specific focus. Assessment findings, progress reports and intervention
plans will be duly discussed to ensure appropriate carry over into
home programs. Presentations and workshops for parents will be made
available with the purpose of informing and equipping said party
with the awareness, knowledge and skills needed. Parent support
groups, discussion groups and newsletters will further enhance dissemination
of information and knowledge.
Education, being the key to effective service delivery, also extends
to the level of intervention provided by the therapists. We will
ensure that the level of intervention is of quality unparalleled.
This will be achieved by continued education of in-house therapists
abroad.
