When we were established in 1979, our focus was the provision of
occupational therapy services. We have evolved into a multidisciplinary
team of occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech
language pathologists.
Now in our second quarter century, OTC's practice continues its dynamic evolution. We provide services in a variety of settings with a major focus in developmental disabilities. The settings include early intervention in a child’s natural environment, pediatric services at OTC's Clinic at Somerset, community based programs addressing the needs of adults with developmental disabilities, long-term care/rehabilitation environments, and public, private and state schools where we utilize an educationally related approach.
OTC's Clinic at Somerset was established more than 12 years ago in
response to Central New Jersey's increasing need for specialized
therapy services for children from birth to 21 years of age. We
offer occupational, physical, speech/language therapy for children
with learning difficulties, developmental delays and sensory integration
problems. When appropriate, therapists collaborate with the child's
educational team to enable carryover of effective strategies into
the school environment. In Northern and Central New Jersey, our therapists work collaboratively
with facility staff in varied community settings. As an integral
part of each site team, OTC staff help achieve effective outcomes
for clients requiring therapy services.
Staff keeps abreast of important professional information through
ongoing in-services and workshops. Our comprehensive library adds
an additional professional resource and a venue for parent information.
OTC staff is recognized at local, state, national and international
levels for professional expertise. We provide programs for community
groups, religious organizations, community childcare programs, public
and private schools and universities. Professional conferences sponsored
by local, statewide, national and international organizations have
also called upon OTC staff to share their expertise.
OTC's Mission Statement
The mission of Occupational Therapy Consultants is to provide comprehensive,
high quality, cost-effective consultation and therapy services to
consumers in healthcare, educational, and community environments.
We enhance the delivery of these services by maintaining a supportive
and enriched professional environment within the company.
