Motor Team
The motor team consists of the district Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Adapted Physical Educators. These professionals are housed at Canyon View School and provide OT, PT and APE services to students with disabilities throughout Weber School District. These services are provided to students who have physical limitations which prevent them from accessing their special education programs or curriculum.
Speech and Language Services
The first 3 years of life, when the brain is developing and maturing, is the most intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills. These skills develop best in a world that is rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others.
