Preparing for the End of the School Year

Please join us as we prepare for the end of the school year.

The goal of providing OT and PT services is to enhance participation in the school environment while limiting the amount of time the student is removed from his/her classroom peers. Graduation is a positive indication of students' progress and achievement of goals to the maximum extent possible. We will review the criteria for graduation.

We will cover requirements and tips for finishing the year at your school.

Topics Covered:

• Considerations for OT and PT at various grade levels
• Preparing a student for graduation from OT and PT
• End of year documentation requirements

Learning Objectives:

• Understand moving students along the continuum
• Determining continuation or graduation from OT and PT services
• Complete all necessary documentation for the end of the year
