Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on those students who are having difficulty fully accessing and progressing in the educational environment. An occupational therapist may assess the abilities and needs of a student including visual and motor skills, printing ability and pre-vocational skills.

Occupational therapists also contribute to the learning process by:

  • collaborating in program planning;
  • consulting on appropriate strategies and resources for the student;
  • supporting teachers in adapting the classroom environment or learning materials;
  • making recommendations for the use of technology and other equipment; and
  • providing training for teachers, educational assistants and parents.
