School-based occupational therapy is integrated into the school’s educational program as a means to enhance functioning and attain educational objectives. Occupational therapists can provide support to the total educational system. They can assist with problem solving to eliminate barriers that hinder access to educational environments and assist with modifications and accommodations to support students in their educational program. When occupational therapy is provided as educational services, decisions regarding what type of therapy is provided, how it is provided and who is to provide it are directly tied to the student’s overall educational program. All team members support the attainment of these educational goals. Thus, therapy and other related services become a means or method to attain educational goals and
objectives/benchmarks. School-based therapy is not intended to meet all the therapy needs of a student, but is intended to meet needs of the student to promote success in the educational environment.
