Intro to your clinicians
About Clinical Services
Makom believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities should have healthcare designed specifically to meet them where they are and address their medical needs. To improve the healthcare status of people with IDD, Makom has established the Department of Clinical Services.
Clinical services mean the direct and/or indirect provision of healthcare services to and for the benefit of people with IDD requiring such services. We invite you to explore our website to learn more, and please reach out with any questions.
Our Services
Behavioral/Mental Health Support
Includes counseling, assessments, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management, all tailored to address the unique needs of people with IDD with mental health disorders.
Speech Language Pathology
The best diagnostic technology plus a committed and empathetic staff produces significantly improved health and social outcomes for our patients.
Occupational Therapy
We address each client’s needs holistically, by evaluating an individual’s sensory processing, gross and fine motor skills, cognition, and psychosocial skills. By implementing a client-centered care plan, we empower individuals to thrive in their daily lives.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy treatment ranges from educating direct support professionals to providing individualized therapy based on a person’s deficits, including strength training, balance training, gait improvement, and fall risk reduction.
Nursing
We treat the whole person and provide quality care for patients with IDD in a patient-centered and family-focused environment.
Dietetics/Nutrition
We provide patients and their families with thoughtful, expert guidance on affordable options for an optimal diet.
Makom Clinical Services handles people with IDD with kindness, compassion, understanding, and respect. In this setting, the clinicians will treat IDD individuals with compassion and accept each of them as a significant and valuable individual.
