Special Education Occupational Therapy
Everyday experiences can be used to enhance function and independence. Students play outside promoting fine and gross motor skills while following auditory directions. School based occupational therapy promotes learning including skill development in attention, tactile and motor planning. According to Fred Donaldson, "Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.”
