| Neuro Motor Clinic Children with neuromotor disabilities can receive a comprehensive evaluation and treatment services at Coos County Family Services through a team care approach. CCFHS provides consultants to the parents, the school and the child’s PCP. A neuromotor disability is characterized by an inability to control gross and/or fine motor functions. Typically, one or more of the following may be occurring: spasms, tonal problems, involuntary movements, gait and mobility control. Neuromotor dysfunction is usually permanent, and treated with physical therapy, applied devices, and education for both the disabled child and caregivers. A professional team visits the area 3-4 times a year: • Gregory Melkonian, MD - specializes in Pediatric Orthopedist from Children’s Hospital in Boston, MA • Camila Jones, MD -Developmental Pediatrician from Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center/ Bureau Special Medical Services • Colleen Sullivan, Pediatric Physical Therapist, Equipment specialist and orthotic vendor. Participation in this clinic gives children access to other Bureau Programs such as Feeding and Swallowing. For more information about the program please call: Jeanne Charest, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at 603-752-2040 A donation of $750 brings a neuromotor specialist to this community (from medical centers as far away as three hours) 3 to 4 times per year to work with severely handicapped children. |
