- Conduct evaluations, write reports, monitor progress and establish IEP goals/short-term objectives for students with accommodations, supports or services.
- Collaborate with teachers, administrators, therapists, families and school teams to integrate OT strategies into natural school routines.
- Consult with classroom staff to support adaptations/modifications of environment, curriculum and tasks to reduce barriers to student participation and functional performance.
- Participate in IEP meetings, progress monitoring, and support positive school culture and student success.
