Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy services are available for students who need individualized treatment for handwriting skill development, sensory regulation, fine and gross motor skill development, visual motor and perceptual strengthening, and motor planning and isolation. On-site services allow the therapist to work closely with the student’s academic team and parents. These services are provided on the school campus with payment from the student’s parents directly to the therapist.
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and Language services focus on helping students with a wide range of speech-related problems to meet performance standards. Providence Day currently contracts with two speech and language therapists. Their work includes prevention, assessment, intervention, and program design efforts that are integrated within the school setting. They serve a full range of communication disorders, including those involving language, articulation, fluency, voice/resonance, auditory processing, written expression, and phonological processing. Services are provided on the school campus with payment from the student’s parents directly to the clinician.
Tutoring
The PD Tutoring Program is a supplemental service and is in addition to the after school help sessions that are offered by teachers. Parents are responsible for paying the tutor a designated fee on a weekly or monthly basis. The tutoring program provides one-on-one tutoring in most subject areas and at all grade levels. Tutoring is available before and after school. Middle and Upper School tutorials begin after the regular teacher help sessions at 3:40 p.m. daily. Resources for specialized tutoring are also available. Summer tutorials can also be arranged by contacting Student Services Director Joyce Harris at 704-887-6075 or joyce.harris@providenceday.org.
