Federal law mandates that occupational therapy in the school system be educationally relevant. In the school setting, OT is a “related service” to special education under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Act. This means that services must enhance or support educational goals and a student’s performance in learning and school related activities, increasing access to the curriculum.
