    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Public schools use occupational therapists to assist with the education needs of children with disabilities. Therapists use a collaborative approach, assessing the environmental, academic and vocational needs of each student. By using cooperative techniques and making adjustments to the child's academic and social environment, occupational therapists develop an individual learning plan for each student.
