Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a related service provided to students who are deemed eligible. Eligibility is based on a referral and the results of formal assessments. Once eligibility is determined, school-based OT services will become part of their educational program. School-based OT is designed to assist students in their ability to successfully access their educational environment. School-based OT is not intended to meet all of the therapeutic needs of a student; rather it is intended to ensure that a student has access to his or her educational environment. Specific goals and objectives will be developed and implemented to meet the individual needs of each student receiving services.
