Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapist

The Occupational Therapist is responsible for assessing, planning, and implementing intervention strategies for students with special needs who demonstrate deficits in sensory regulation, daily living skills, and the acquisition of fine, perceptual, or visual-motor skills necessary to achieve educational goals. The therapist collaborates with academic staff to enhance students' functional performance skills, enabling them to access and participate in the educational program. Additionally, the Occupational Therapist supervises Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs), ensuring effective service delivery by overseeing student evaluations, goal-setting, and interventions. The therapist plays a critical role in improving students' independent functioning within the school environment by providing both direct and consultative services and guiding the work of COTAs in alignment with student needs and educational objectives.
