Occupational and Physical Therapy

Occupational and Physical Therapies in Schools

Occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) are provided in the schools to support the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP). The therapists work collaboratively with a student's IEP team and participate in screening, evaluation, program planning, and intervention. The OT's and PT's assist students in accessing school environments and benefiting from their educational program.
