Four children participate in an 8-week Physical and Occupational Therapy developmental group aimed at improving skills such as independence with dressing, clothing fasteners, utensil use and handwriting as well as improving general strength, balance and coordination. If your child is age 4 - 8 years old and you'd be interested in participating, please contact devgroupVirtua@chop.edu.
