Additional Services

ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC

At Atlantic County Special Services School District, we offer a monthly Orthopedic Clinic with Dr. B. David Horn, a pediatric orthopedist from the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Horn screens students with orthopedic concerns and refers them for further services if necessary.

All students must have a signed parent permission and HIPPA form before they are seen, and parents are encouraged to attend whenever possible. This year we have served over 120 students who may not have had the opportunity to see an orthopedist. Dr. Horn works well in conjunction with the Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Nursing departments and is able to provide prescriptions, and advice for us and our students that would not be available otherwise.
