Consultations
We are happy to complete on-site consultations to classrooms, school systems and therapy or other facilities, as well as consult on individual students. Consultations can be customized to meet your needs. Consultations out of the area are often scheduled around or in conjunction with scheduled workshops. For more information contact STAR Services.
Consultations - video analysis
We also offer individual client consultations via video analysis with follow-up by phone or e-mail. For parents and therapists who are not able to schedule a face-to-face consult, we can arrange to review a video tape. You may provide us with a video tape of your child, up to an hour in length, for our review. We will review the tape and schedule a consultation (phone or email) in order to assist you. For information on how to arrange a video review, download the release and history forms and payment information. To get the process started complete and return all forms. Forms include:

Pizza Box Incline Board
The pizza box incline board is an inexpensive way of providing a child with an adjustable height incline board. It is sturdy and easy to make. Just download the pattern and instructions. Obtain an unused pizza box from your local pizza store and you’re on your way.
The slant top writing board was designed by Elizabeth A. Hagy, OTR/L from the Occupational Therapy Class of 1995, Nova Southeastern University. The instructions and pattern are reprinted by permission.
