Bright Star Occupational & Physical Therapy
Bright Star Occupational & Physical Therapy provides school-based therapy services designed to help students feel confident, capable, and successful in their school environment. We work in partnership with school districts to support students as they learn, grow, and participate throughout the school day.
Our team of caring, licensed therapists works directly within school settings to support the skills students need for classroom learning, transitions, playground activities, and physical education. We focus on building the functional abilities that make everyday school activities easier and more accessible, including motor development, coordination, strength, endurance, posture, mobility, and fine and visual-motor skills.
At Bright Star, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to participate fully in their school experience. Our goal is to support schools and families by helping students build the skills they need to thrive—while providing districts with dependable, high-quality therapy services they can count on.
