School-Based OT/PT Foundations 101 – Part 2 Course

School-Based OT/PT 101 Foundations: From Caseload Survival to Educationally Relevant Practice

Part 2: IEPs, Goal Writing, Collaboration, and School Team Practice ~ 2 Hours

This course takes a deeper dive into the practical skills school-based Practitioners need to function confidently on educational teams. Participants will examine present levels, educational impact, IEP goal writing, service recommendations, data collection, progress monitoring, and collaborative decision-making. Emphasis is placed on writing participation-focused goals, aligning OT/PT services with classroom routines, collaborating with teachers and related service providers, and communicating the value of  OT/PT clearly to administrators and families. Recent research supports stronger Practitioner–teacher collaboration, embedded service models, and collaborative goal development rather than isolated discipline-specific practice.
