Assessment/Planning

training. Behavioral goals and objectives are established by the
occupational therapist with relevant help from the collaborative team,
including the parents.

the evaluation results. Treatment may take place within a therapy room,
classroom or special activity area to facilitate the collaboration process.

Department, based on the needs of the student:
