Occupational and physical therapy are related services mandated by individualized education plans of special education students, ages three to 21, or by a student’s service agreement under Chapter 15 of the PA School Code. Services promote improved quality of movement, posture, fine motor functioning, visual motor functioning, gross motor balance, strength and coordination, functioning posture, appropriate positioning and mobility, and independence in activities of daily living.
Occupational therapists recommend, construct and teach others to use and maintain adaptive equipment for such activities as positioning, feeding, writing and the use of the educational equipment and materials.
Physical therapists recommend, construct and teach others to use and maintain adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, prone boards and other devices used for positioning and mobility.
The primary goal of this program is to assist each student in compensating for sensory, physical and motor deficits in order to access an appropriate special education program or regular education program under Chapter 15.
Program Features:
- Individual or small group therapy
- Consultation services
- Monitoring of students

CCIU's award-winning on-line math modules provide extended opportunities for middle and high school students to achieve proficiency in the Pennsylvania Mathematics Standards. Each module contains short, content-specific topics with pre- and post- tests for students to monitor their progress. Two of the modules (Basic Math and Probability & Statistics) use interactive flash components and authentic applications to present the topics. The remaining three modules (graphing, measurements, and equations) provide more traditional support for the content presented.
