a form of therapy that encourages rehabilitation through the performance of activities required in daily life.

The Occupational Therapist (OT) is responsible for evaluating and addressing a student’s overall functional performance in all school environments.  OT offers individualized evaluation and intervention plans in the following areas: sensory processing, activities of daily living, gross and fine motor skills, leisure/recreation, vocational skills, personal management including the organization of self and materials in school, home, and work environments.  

Occupational Therapists at OSB integrate into the students programming throughout the day to ensure the student has full access to their educational environment. A typical OT session may include sensory and alerting activities, positioning of student or materials and set up of a variety of assistive technology to increase access that may include switches, mounts or environmental control.
