Goal areas addressed may include communication and speech, cognitive and academic skills, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, reality orientation and memory recall, self-expression, emotional expression and support, general well-being, and increased quality of life. Goals, objectives, and interventions are designed to integrate well with other therapies and generalize to daily activities.
