Children's Physical Developmental Clinic

For more than 30 years, Bridgewater State College has sponsored the Children's Physical Developmental Clinic (CPDC), a nationally recognized academic program that fosters professional development, community service, and leadership qualities.  The CPDC affords students from all majors a challenging opportunity for volunteering as clinicians to work with children and youth with disabilities between the ages of 18 months to 18 years.

 

The aim of the clinic program is to improve the "total development" of children with disabilities by enhancing vital physical, motor, and aquatic skills and patterns.  In addition, the program stresses the improvement of self-esteem of children by strengthening emotional-social aspects of their personalities through successful involvement in play, recreation and sport activities.

 

A hundred students serve as clinicians and support staff each semester making the CPDC the largest student organization on campus.  Over the years, BSC students have determined that the CPDC not only augments their professional preparation; but, upon graduation, is most critical to them when seeking employment and entrance to graduate school.
