School Occupational Therapist Job Duties
A school-based occupational therapist uses specific knowledge and experience to help students participate in day-to-day activities, caring for their emotional, academic, and mental health. The main goal of a school occupational therapist’s job is to help encourage and increase participation in daily school routines, extra activities, and other social events. On a daily basis, the therapist will be asked to conduct a thorough analysis of the students, make recommendations to improve the student’s participation and progress, reduce student limitations, and provide technology to support students in their success goals.
They also help certain students develop alternate learning methods, identify long-term goals for each student as well as the school itself, plan for extra-curricular activities, and prepare older students for employment or college after high school. The school occupational therapist job is incredibly important for addressing both the academic and the mental and physical health of each student. The therapists can also provide their support services to the staff and faculty, helping the education process run smoothly on all ends.
