AREA AGENCY ON AGING ................ 21 Taking small steps for lifelong rewards
T
he new Midwestern University Therapy Institute brings important services and advanced technology to families requiring integrated therapeutic and rehabilitative health care. Offering physical and occupational therapy, vision therapy and low-vision rehabilitation, sports vision perfor-
mance training, clinical psychology and speech-language pathology — which now also offers bilingual services — the therapy institute provides a wide array of health care solutions for all ages. An integrated health care team is especially important for patients who have complex health conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s, vestibular issues or brain injury, as well as for child development concerns. Vision therapy
can help children learn more effectively, particularly in an increasingly digital environment. Speech-language pathology helps clients to overcome communication issues in a compassionate environment, working at their own pace. Our caring clinical psychology team offers tools to reduce anxiety and stress in today’s social environment.
