All participants are screened by licensed therapists trained to detect physical deficits which may benefit from therapy intervention. Participants are also provided with a list of available resources including seminars, group exercise classes and support group meetings throughout Lee County.
Each participant can expect to visit with a physical therapist to address mobility concerns, an occupational therapist to address self-care activities and home management, as well as a speech language pathologist to discuss communication and swallowing concerns.
Resources related to education, support group, exercise group, and identification of individualized therapy needs will be provided and a report of recommendations will be sent to your health care professional of choice.
