Service Description

NTDSE Occupational Therapy services are provided for students whose neuromuscular, sensorimotor, and/or cognitive challenges impact educational progress and successful participation in the educational environment. The goal of our program is to provide students with the tools and support needed to develop the skills and functional independence they need to meet their potential.

Goals reflect the assessed needs of each student. Occupational therapy focuses on occupational performance as it relates to the student’s motor skills, daily living skills, school work activities, play skills, or vocational skills. Services are provided by Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs).  OTs directly supervise and collaborate with the COTA to support students in meeting their educationally relevant goals.

All NTDSE Occupational Therapists and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants are certified by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).
