Familiarity with IEPs, therapy note-taking, and goal-oriented documentation
Ability to address diverse therapy needs, including self-help (buttoning, zippering), life skills, hygiene, handwriting, cutting, shoe tying, and higher-level pre-vocational skills
Comfortable managing changing caseloads and adapting session plans as needed
Key Responsibilities: Deliver occupational therapy services according to established schedules and student goals
Support a wide range of developmental needs, ensuring each session is purposeful and tailored
Complete session notes clearly to track progress toward IEP goals
