KLC is now offering Post-Secondary Transition Planning:
Did you know occupational therapists can be valuable members of the transition planning team? OT offers a unique set of skills for evaluating both the individual AND the environment. This offers a well-rounded lens in which we can better understand the factors that impact an individual’s ability to obtain and maintain work and independent living after high school. In addition, we provide therapeutic services to facilitate skill development for optimal transition post-graduation.
