OT services enable students to access their special education program by supporting their Individual Education Program (IEP) goals. OT is responsible for evaluating, developing the care plan, and treating students aged 3-21 as defined in the IEP using direct and consult services. OT will work collaboratively with a team of educational staff, administrators, families, and other therapists to help implement a student’s special education program. School-based occupational therapy is designed to enhance the student's ability to fully access and be successful in the learning environment.
