✨ Embracing AI in Occupational Therapy: Reclaiming Time, Purpose, and Presence
If you’re an OT, especially in school-based practice, you probably didn’t enter this field to spend your days drowning in documentation or chasing after outdated IEP goals.
You did it to help kids thrive—to empower them to participate, play, and grow.
But somewhere along the way, the demands grew heavier. Notes, evaluations, progress reports, data tracking, collaboration meetings… it’s enough to leave even the most passionate therapist feeling drained.
This is where AI in occupational therapy becomes more than a trend—it becomes a tool for reconnection.
AI Can Help You:
✅ Write faster IEP goals that are measurable, compliant, and individualized
✅ Automate SOAP notes and parent updates
✅ Stay organized without sacrificing your clinical judgment
✅ Focus more on what matters most—the child in front of you
Emerging research supports this shift. Studies show that artificial intelligence can improve documentation speed, increase access to personalized intervention tools, and support clinical decision-making—without replacing the therapist’s intuition or compassion (Farrar, 2024; SAGE OT & Disability Studies, 2024).
On this page, you’ll find AI-powered tools, prompts, and time-saving workflows created just for OTs—especially those juggling the unique demands of schools, caseloads, and compliance.
Because the future of OT shouldn’t mean more work. It should mean better work—and more energy to give where it matters.
