Occupational Therapy Clinics

The Occupational Therapy Clinic at Western Michigan University offers several clinics both on and off campus to meet your needs. Our clinics are student-led within a healthcare setting where students in WMU's OT program gain practical experience under the direct supervision of licensed OT practitioners. These clinics provide valuable learning opportunities for students while meeting a community need at a reduced cost. Our clinics offered are:

Adult Clinic

The Adult Clinic serves adults who have neurological diagnoses such as cerebral vascular accidents and traumatic brain injuries; orthopedic conditions such as knee and hip replacements, fractures and other chronic orthopedic conditions; and cognitive impairments such as dementia. Additionally, the adult clinic will also serve individuals with psychological conditions such as depression, adult developmental delay and autism. The focus of the adult clinic is to provide skilled evaluation and intervention from a holistic perspective to assist clients in achieving their highest level of safety, occupational performance, and well-being. Through an extensive evaluation process, the adult clinic helps to determine the client’s potential for rehabilitation and independent living. Intervention is designed to improve independent living skills, motor skills, and cognitive skills through 1:1 sessions that target the individual client’s need

Work-to-Work Clinic

The adult Work-to-Work program focuses on developing independent living skills including skills for employment. Through evaluation, W2W helps to determine the adult client’s potential for independent living and employment. Intervention is designed to improve independent living skills and pre-vocational skills through participation in therapeutic social and task groups, one-on-one supervision during work activities and one-on-one sessions to target specific skill areas for the individual client.

Pediatric Clinic

The Pediatric Clinic serves children who have diagnoses such as sensory processing disorder, ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, developmental delay, fine and gross motor dysfunction, fetal alcohol syndrome, and cognitive deficits. We treat children six months to 18 years of age. The focus of the Pediatric Clinic is to allow children to develop greater success in occupations that are meaningful to them.
