Why doesnt occupational therapy routinely provide services to the student on a daily basis?
Because occupational therapy is a support service, one of our main goals is to assure that the child receives recommended programs and adaptations throughout each school day. To accomplish this, the staff is trained by the occupational therapist to carry out these programs in all areas of the childs educational environment. Working together as a team, the occupational therapist and school staff are able to provide the optimum means of achieving the IEP goals. Federal law mandates that each child should be served in the least restrictive environment. This often means that the child is working daily with his/her classroom teacher on a program recommended by the occupational therapist. Back to Top.
