Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy involves the functional evaluation of a student and the planning and use of a program of purposeful activities to develop or maintain adaptive skills, designed to achieve maximal physical and mental functioning of the student in his or her daily life tasks. Our district contracts with BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services). Licensed Occupational Therapists provide a wide range of services to assist with adaptations and compensations that allow children to participate in educational tasks. OT services focus on fine motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, sensory integration issues, functional living skills, and adaptive equipment.
