Occupational Therapy

The SSEC Occupational Therapists (OTs) focus on the student’s ability to access the school environment and to participate in the educational program by:

  • Providing goals, activities, and services that support academic and non-academic outcomes
  • Evaluating students’ strengths and needs in the participation of meaningful school activities and routines.
  • Promoting successful student performance in the areas of personal care, student role/ interactive skills, processing skills, play, community integration, and written communication
  • Reducing the barriers by providing strategies and activities for the classroom, home, and community.
  • Supporting successful post-school outcomes by developing programs and individualized strategies (plans/interventions) that address transition-related needs.
  • Employing unique and creative interventions designed to improve student occupational performance, including participating in everyday routines and activities.
  • Selecting, modifying, and customizing adaptive equipment and assistive technology to facilitate school access and participation.
