About OTR, Inc.  

We believe that each child and family we serve is unique, with their own story, strengths, and challenges.

We are dedicated to the highest quality of clinical intervention, guided by current and emerging research and evidence from diverse sources and disciplines, as well as our own years of clinical experience. 

There are currently many different views and definitions of “Best Practice” and “Evidence-based Practice” among professionals:

       “Behaviorists tend to adhere to the definition of evidence-based practices as those arising from ‘scientifically rigorous’ research completed according to formal research protocols. Allied health professionals [psychologists, counselors, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, etc.] on the other hand, define evidence-based practices as those which ‘recognize the needs, abilities, values, preferences, and interests of individuals and families to whom they provide services, and integrate those factors, along with best current research evidence and their clinical expertise in making clinical decisions.” (Michellle Garcia Winner:  ASHA, 2005, p.1)

This view, we believe, allows the therapist to be flexible and creative as well as systematic in designing interventions that meet the needs of each child and family.  

The staff at OTR, Inc. delivers these services in a professional, yet comfortable and friendly atmosphere.

About Wilma J. Dorman, OTR/L, Certified RDI® Consultant

Owner of Occupational Therapy Resources, Inc.

Wilma Dorman is the founder of Occupational Therapy Resources, Inc. (OTR, Inc.), which has been in existence for over 20 years.   Wilma received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1966 and her Certificate in Occupational Therapy in 1973 from the University of Pennsylvania.  Wilma began her career as an occupational therapist at Norristown State Hospital in 1973, becoming the Assistant Director of the Occupational Therapy Department. She remained in this position for over 12 years.  During that time she developed the first hospital-wide sensory integration program in adult psychiatry in Pennsylvania based on the work of her mentor, Lorna Jean King.  Life after Norristown State Hospital led her to work with adults recovering from traumatic head injury as well as providing services to children on the Autistic Spectrum.  

When Wilma first began OTR, Inc. in 1990, it was for the sole purpose of serving families with children who have special needs.  Since its inception, OTR Inc. has become known as a place where families come to find solutions to sometimes elusive problems concerning their children.  Wilma has taken the richness of her experiences in adult psychiatry and extended that interest in brain behavior relationships into the domain of pediatric occupational therapy.  Wilma infuses the entire practice with the excitement of “doing” that connects the practice to classic occupational therapy.   Children work in a garden, create murals, design and sell Mother’s day cards for the purpose of donating the funds to children in need in Haiti, learn ball skills, master riding a bike or keyboarding.   

Wilma’s personal passion for occupational therapy is based on the fact that it pulls together her interest in science and her creativity and love for making things with her hands.  Wilma has said that, “Occupational Therapy brings to life everything that I care about.” 

Over the years Wilma and her staff have developed specialties in the areas of Social Competence Programming and working with children on the Autistic Spectrum.  Wilma’s recent certification in RDI® (Relationship Development Intervention) enables her to not only serve her interests in social competence programming and working with children on the Autistic Spectrum, but also to see that a sense of effectiveness is given back to the parents of these children.  Wilma received a Master Clinician Award from Thomas Jefferson School of Occupational Therapy in May 1992 and a Master Clinician Award from Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association in September 1992.  Wilma is a co-author with G. Gordon Williamson, Ph.D., OTR titled “Promoting Social Competence”, which was published in 2002.    Wilma is currently participating in a mentorship training program on Sensory Processing Disorder with Lucy Jane Miller, Ph.D.  She currently resides in Plymouth Meeting.   Wilma is a mother and grandmother.  Wilma also has another love, her retired seeing-eye dog, Jerico, who comes to the office from time to time and is regarded as a member of the OTR family.
